                Proclamation 7416 of March 16, 2001

                
National Girl Scout Week, 2001

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                This week marks the 89th anniversary of the founding of 
                the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. 
                Juliette Gordon Low founded the organization as a way 
                to give girls greater opportunities to develop skills 
                and to mentor them in knowledge and character. 
                Promoting leadership and altruism, the Girl Scouts 
                organization has played a unique and important role in 
                preparing millions of girls to master challenges and to 
                pursue dreams.

                The Girl Scouts offers many ways for members to explore 
                their interests and talents. With participation 
                spanning five levels, girls ages 5 to 17 learn the 
                importance of strong values as they strive to fulfill 
                the highest ideals of good citizenship. The pure 
                enjoyment of camping and other recreational activities 
                is matched with lessons in compassionate caring for 
                their neighbors.

                Today, almost 3 million girls and more than 900,000 
                adult volunteers reap the benefits of involvement with 
                this beloved and enduring organization. Guiding 
                America's next generation of leaders, the Girl Scouts 
                helps individuals to reach their full potential and 
                builds a brighter future for our great Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim March 11 through 
                March 17, 2001, as National Girl Scout Week. I call on 
                the people of the United States to observe the 89th 
                anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of 
                America with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                sixteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand one, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
