Senate Resolution No. 2584

BY: Senator MAYER

        CONGRATULATING  Julia  Genin  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, Julia Genin 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,  Julia Genin 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 "The Rankin Project," Julia Genin
attempts to focus her Gold Award Project  on  inspiring  girls  to  seek
greater  involvement  in government and civic service, and to understand
the power of their vote; this project is named  after  Jeannette  Rankin
who  was  the first woman ever elected to Congress in 1916; in 2020, the
100th anniversary of the  Suffrage  Movement  was  celebrated,  however,
women   remain   under-represented  at  all  levels  of  governance  and
decision-making; 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, Julia Genin 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 Julia Genin 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 Julia Genin.
