  Whereas, March 12, 2025, marks the one hundred thirteenth anniversary of Girl Scouts of the United States of America.

The Girl Scouts mission is to "build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place";

and   Whereas, Girl Scouts offers girls twenty-first century programming in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM);

the outdoors;

entrepreneurship;

and beyond, helping girls develop invaluable life skills through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience;

and   Whereas, today, more than fifty million women, trailblazers, visionaries, and leaders are Girl Scout alums who embody the Girl Scout mission every day.

Across the Palmetto State alone, Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina and Girl Scouts of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands serve more than ten thousand girls and volunteers;

and   Whereas, the Girl Scout movement began on March 12, 1912, when Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, a native of Savannah, Georgia, organized a group of eighteen girls and provided them the opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually;

and   Whereas, public service and civic engagement were a cornerstone of Juliette Gordon Low's life and remain an important part of today's Girl Scout experience, with programming designed to encourage girls to seek opportunities to learn about federal, state, and local government;

research and engage with their elected officials;

and inspire girls to become civic-minded individuals equipped with the tools to make a positive change in the world;

and   Whereas, Girl Scouts' commitment to getting girls outdoors, including exciting summer camp experiences, comes from Juliette Gordon Low's lifelong appreciation for nature and the environment;

and   Whereas, Juliette Gordon Low utilized her extensive network of friends across the country and around the world to establish the foundation for the Girl Scout movement, creating opportunities for girls to form lifelong friendships with fellow Girl Scouts;

and   Whereas, Juliette Gordon Low believed in the power of global connections and the ability of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to positively impact their communities and the world.

As a result, Juliette became the movement's worldwide ambassador and first Girl Scout global citizen;

and   Whereas, on March 25, 2025, the Juliette Gordon Low commemorative quarter will be released into circulation by the United States Mint, celebrating the enduring legacy of the Girl Scout founder and the Girl Scout movement;

and   Whereas, Juliette Gordon Low's journey from trailblazing leader to a face on our nation's currency is a testament to the power of girls and women everywhere.  Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate:

  That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Girl Scouts of the United States of America at the celebration of the organization's one hundred thirteenth anniversary, salute the more than ten thousand Girl Scouts in the Palmetto State, and recognize March 12, 2025, as "Girl Scout Day" in South Carolina.
