Senate Resolution No. 3224

BY: Senator O'MARA

        CONGRATULATING  Makenzie Kellogg upon the occasion
        of  receiving  the  distinguished  Girl  Scout  Gold
        Award, the most prestigious of Scouting honors

  WHEREAS,  Makenzie  Kellogg,  through  her  diligence  and  rigorous
efforts, has achieved Scouting's highest and most prestigious honor, the
Girl Scout Gold Award; and

  WHEREAS, Makenzie Kellogg of Burdett, New York, is a member of  Girl
Scouts of America Troop 40170; 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  1980, 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, titled, Girl Power  Up,  Makenzie  Kellogg
began  by  addressing  particular issues that female athletes face while
training for sports; the premise of her project was that female and male
bodies are not meant to maintain the same level of  training,  endurance
and impact; and

  WHEREAS,  Makenzie  Kellogg  decided  upon this project because of a
serious injury she obtained while running cross country; she  was  in  a
cast which caused her to miss an entire season and endure a long healing
time as well as physical therapy; and

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

  WHEREAS, Makenzie Kellogg 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  Makenzie  Kellogg  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 Makenzie Kellogg.
