Senate Resolution No. 2583

BY: Senator MAYER

        CONGRATULATING  Abigail  Gurden, upon the occasion
        of  receiving  the  distinguished  Girl  Scout  Gold
        Award,  the  most prestigious of Scouting honors, on
        June 12, 2022

  WHEREAS, Through her diligence and rigorous efforts, Abigail Gurden,
has achieved Scouting's highest and most  prestigious  honor,  the  Girl
Scout  Gold  Award;  the ceremony will be held on Sunday, June 12, 2022;
and

  WHEREAS, Abigail Gurden, is a  member  of  Scarsdale  Edgemont  Girl
Scouts; and

  WHEREAS,  America has achieved her 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 her glory; and

  WHEREAS, The Girl Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to
the development of character and leadership in the youth of this Nation;
and

  WHEREAS,  Since  1916, Senior Girl Scouts have capped their years of
achievement in Girl Scouting with the Girl Scout Gold Award; and

  WHEREAS, In order to earn the Girl Scout Gold  Award,  a  girl  must
fulfill five requirements; chief among them is the design and completion
of  a  Gold Award Project; this project must build upon the interests of
the girl, provide a service to the community, and be of lasting benefit;
and

  WHEREAS, For her project  entitled  "Journal  My  Journey,"  Abigail
Gurden,  attempts  to  comfort anxious, hospitalized teen girls at Maria
Fareri Children's Hospital, by  creating  and  delivering  400  activity
journals, colored pencils and positive get-well notes; it has been shown
that  a  distracting  activity  such  as  journaling and self-expression
through art  can  make  a  patient  calmer  for  tests,  procedures  and
treatments; 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,  Abigail Gurden, 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  Abigail  Gurden,  upon  the  occasion  of  her
designation as recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award; and be it further


  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Abigail Gurden.
