  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 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

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

evidence  of  Madison  Santos'  high  character  and  commitment  to her
community, New York State, and our Nation; and

for  years,  has  lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all the
necessary achievements; and

filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it
