  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Allison 
Carpenter for receiving the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor in 
Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Gold Award symbolizes outstanding 
accomplishments in the areas of leadership, community service, career 
planning, and personal development.
  Allison, a junior at Katy High School, has continually showed her 
commitment to changing society and helping her community. She was 
awarded the Gold Award after partnering with the You Can Academy to 
serve academically at-risk children who attend a local elementary 
school. She created and led curriculum workshops to teach students how 
to respect others, follow the rules, and stay on task. We are proud of 
Allison's commitment to education and look forward to seeing her future 
accomplishments.
  I am proud to represent such an impressive young Girl Scout who 
possesses a strong commitment to service. On behalf of the Twenty-
Second Congressional District of Texas, congratulations again to 
Allison for earning this distinguished award.
