A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR Gracen Green FOR Her 
NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE girl SCOUTS OF AMERICA AND TO CONGRATULATE Her 
UPON ACHIEVING THE PRESTIGIOUS RANK OF Gold Award, THE HIGHEST AWARD IN Girl SCOUTs.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Gracen Green of the 
Girl Scouts of South Carolina-Mountains to the Midlands has successfully 
completed the requirements for the rank of Gold Award; and 

Whereas, the daughter 
of Dana and Joseph Green, Ms. Green graduated from Mid-Carolina High School in 
Prosperity in 2024; and

Whereas, to earn the 
rank of Gold Award, a Girl Scout must demonstrate that they have made sustainable 
change in their communities and beyond. Concerned about the decline in 
pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and other insects, Ms. Green set out to 
create a sustainable habitat for pollinators and to raise public awareness 
about the seriousness of their decline in order to meet the requirements for 
the Gold Award; and

Whereas, with a keen 
interest in plants and gardening, Ms. Green designed and built a pollinator 
garden filled with diverse flowering plants that support bees, butterflies, and 
other essential species; and

Whereas, to maximize 
the project's impact, she developed educational resources, including a website 
and social media content. The positive feedback from visitors, who shared how 
the garden transformed their understanding of insects, was truly rewarding. The 
project not only provided a vital resource for pollinators but also enabled 
Gracen to hone her skills in leadership, project management, and problem solving; 
and

Whereas, the South 
Carolin House of Representatives values the enthusiasm and success of young 
citizens, like Gracen Green, who purpose to contribute to their communities in 
a meaningful way to their environs and to their community. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor Gracen Green for her noteworthy achievements in the Girl Scouts of 
America and congratulate her upon achieving the prestigious rank of Gold Award, 
the highest award in Girl Scouts.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Gracen Green.
