Bipartisan Resolution to Honor Girl Scouts of America Passes Senate Unanimously

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Susan Collins, Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) introduced a resolution to recognize the 112th birthday of the Girl Scouts of America and celebrate its historic legacy of empowering girls and building powerful female leaders across the country. The Senate passed their resolution unanimously this week.

“I am proud to have grown up as a Girl Scout in Caribou and to now be a member of the honorary Troop Capitol Hill,” said Senator Collins. “The character, volunteerism, and leadership skills that Girl Scouts build contribute greatly to our society. Girl Scouts taught me that determination, principles, and respect for others can take you everywhere you want to go—including to the halls of the United States Capitol. This resolution celebrates 112 years of the Girl Scout organization as they continue to educate and empower young women in Maine and across the country.”
