        honors

  WHEREAS,  Sofia  Napolitano,  through  her  diligence  and  rigorous
efforts,  has  achieved Girl Scout Junior's highest and most prestigious

  WHEREAS,  Sofia  Napolitano  is  a  member of Girl Scouts of America
Troop 1810; and

  WHEREAS, America has achieved its greatest heights of glory  through
the  dedication,  determination, and tireless efforts of the outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and

  WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain its glory; and

  WHEREAS, Girl Scouting has cultivated in our nation's  young  people
the  goals  of building solid values of sisterhood and the importance of
working with others, stimulating both mind and body,  instilling  pride,
and encouraging community service and success; and

  WHEREAS,  Girl  Scouting  has expanded the horizons of the countless
young women who have participated in the programs which have  made  Girl
Scouting an American and international institution; and

  WHEREAS,  The Girl Scout Bronze Award requires the Girl Scout Junior
to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow  through
on  a  project  that  makes  a positive impact on her community; working
together toward  this  award  demonstrates  her  commitment  to  helping
others, improving her community and the world, and becoming the best she
can be; and

  WHEREAS,  To  earn  the  Bronze  Award, Sofia Napolitano completed a
Bronze Award community service project which she planned, developed, and
executed; and

  WHEREAS,  Thinking  about  the  economic  impact  of  the  pandemic,
including  job  loss  and  potential  loss  of donations that charitable
organizations faced, along with their love for animals, Troop 1810 chose
to collect toys, leashes, and food for animals for Cove  Animal  Shelter
in Glen Cove, New York; and

  WHEREAS,   The   Bronze  Award  symbolizes  a  Girl  Scout  Junior's
accomplishments in Girl Scouting and community activities as she matures
and works to better her life and the lives of  others;  it  is  tangible
evidence  of  Sofia  Napolitano's  high  character and commitment to her
community, New York State, and our Nation; and


  WHEREAS,  This outstanding young woman has been involved in Scouting
for years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has  attained  all  the
necessary achievements; and

  WHEREAS, Sofia Napolitano is a credit to her family, her school, her
community,  her  State  and  her Nation, and no doubt her future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations,  in
recognition  of  the  significance  of  this meritorious achievement, to
congratulate and  honor  Sofia  Napolitano  upon  the  occasion  of  her
designation  as  recipient  of  the  Girl  Scout Bronze Award; and be it
further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
