AL HR96

Celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scout Gold Award, which was first introduced as the Golden Eaglet in 1916 and has been called the Gold Award for the past 35 years.

Recognizes that fewer than 6 percent of Girl Scouts annually earn the Gold Award, which requires grades 9-12 Girl Scouts to assess community needs, design solutions, complete projects, and inspire others to sustain them.

Acknowledges that Girl Scout Gold Award recipients demonstrate increased civic engagement, community service involvement, leadership confidence, and life satisfaction.

Directs copies of the resolution to be presented to Dr. Liz Brent, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, and Karen Peterlin, CEO of Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama.

Commends Girl Scouts and Gold Award recipients everywhere for their centennial celebration of "100 Years of Changing the World."
