BY: Senator RHOADS

 CONGRATULATING Shannon Williams upon the occasion
 of earning the distinguished Gold Award, the most
 prestigious of Scouting honors

 WHEREAS, Shannon Williams, through her diligence and rigorous
efforts, has achieved Scouting's highest and most prestigious honor, the
Gold Award; the ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 17, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, A resident of Bethpage, New York, Shannon Williams is a
member of Girl Scouts of the United States of America; and

 WHEREAS, America has achieved its 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 its glory; and

members are dedicated to the development of character and leadership in
the youth of this Nation; and

 WHEREAS, Since 1916, Senior Girl Scouts have sought to cap their
years in Girl Scouting with the prized Gold Award, which challenges
girls to change the world; and

 WHEREAS, In order to earn the Gold Award, a girl must complete a
rigorous set of service, leadership development, and skill-building
tasks leading up to the final and most challenging requirement, the
design and completion of a Take Action Project; this project must be an
issue of interest to the girl and her community, employ team-based
solutions, and educate and inspire others; and

 WHEREAS, Shannon Williams's project was entitled, "Making Memories,
Building Families"; 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, Shannon Williams is a credit to her family, school,
community, State, and her Nation, and her future will undoubtedly 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 Shannon Williams upon the occasion of earning the
Gold Award; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Shannon Williams.
