Texas Senate Bill SR941

Caption

Welcoming the delegation of American Heritage Girls to the Capitol.

Impact

The American Heritage Girls program focuses on several categories known as frontiers, including heritage, family living, arts, outdoor skills, personal well-being, and science and technology. Through earning badges, girls access opportunities for both character and spiritual growth, aligning with the group's mission. The resolution emphasizes the significant role that the American Heritage Girls play in empowering young women, particularly in Texas, where the state hosts the largest number of American Heritage Girls troops across the nation.

Summary

Senate Resolution No. 941 recognizes May 19, 2015, as American Heritage Day at the Capitol. This resolution celebrates the 20th anniversary of the American Heritage Girls, an organization dedicated to building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country. Through its various programs, the organization encourages girls aged five to 18 to participate in activities that promote leadership, teamwork, and personal development while also engaging in community service efforts.

Contention

While the resolution serves to honor and promote the values of the American Heritage Girls organization, it does not appear to imply any specific changes to state laws or official policy. Rather, it acts as a formal recognition of the organization's contributions and the positive influence it has had on its participants over two decades. Resolutions like SR941 serve to foster community pride and support for youth programs without generating legal or political controversies.
