                      RECOGNIZING THE GIRL SCOUTS

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the young women 
of Girl Scout Daisy Troop 1944, ages 6 to almost 8 years of age, who 
recently visited my office.
  After meeting with them, I was truly inspired. Mr. Speaker, they 
alerted me to all their great work, from volunteering in a local animal 
shelter to hosting a birthday party for homeless children. We also 
discussed the importance of civic engagement and honoring our Nation's 
veterans.
  The members of this impressive troop are Roxanne Dion, Kirsten 
Wilson, Harley Craig, Cecelia Rodriguez, Aubree Meyerin, Kileigh 
Solberg, Brooklyn Cress, DeLana Windnagel, Lily Denovo, Georgia 
Woodward, Allison Helser, Kaylee Thompson, and Isabelle Jones.
  During Women's History Month, let us pay tribute to the next 
generation of women leaders, like the young women of Daisy Troop 1944.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the works of the 1.9 
million girl members of the Girl Scouts as well as the individuals who 
volunteer to help them as troop leaders, their parents, and Girl Scouts 
CEO Anna Maria Chavez, all who strive to make the world a much better 
place.
  I say to you, Daisy troops: Job well done.
