rigorous set of service, leadership development, and skill-building

issue of interest to the girl and her community, employ team-based
solutions, and educate and inspire others; and

 WHEREAS, Lily Goldman's project was entitled, "Psychic Plants:
Propagating Plants for Mental Health"; 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

community, her State, and her Nation, and undoubtedly, 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 Lily Goldman upon the occasion of earning the
Gold Award; and be it further
