H.R. No. 156
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Girl Scouts of Central Texas are selling cookies
in 46 counties from January 21 to February 27, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Dedicated to building character and developing
leadership, confidence, and social awareness among its members,
Girl Scouts of the USA has been conducting the cookie fund-raiser
since December 1917, and today this program remains an important
component of the Girl Scout business and economic literacy
initiative; by selling cookies, girls learn such life skills as
money management, teamwork, and public speaking; revenue from the
Girl Scout Cookie Program is directed toward the recruitment and
training of volunteer leaders, financial assistance to keep the
scouting program available to all, and the improvement of camps and
other sites, as well as toward the troops' own activities; and
WHEREAS, In 2008, more than 11,000 Girl Scouts in Central
Texas sold 1.97 million boxes of cookies and raised approximately
$6.8 million for the council and over $260,000 for troop programs,
which included more than 5,000 community service projects; in
addition, these fine young Texans collected nearly 50,000 boxes of
cookies to send to U.S. troops overseas; and
WHEREAS, By inspiring young women to become leaders and
providing them with a solid foundation for future achievement, the
Girl Scout councils of Central Texas are enriching countless lives
and developing a host of engaged and thoughtful citizens who
realize the value of giving back to their communities; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Girl Scouts of Central Texas for
their community service efforts and extend to them sincere best
wishes for a successful Girl Scout Cookie Program in 2009; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Girl Scouts of Central Texas as an expression of
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
