A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND LAURA ASHLEY COOK OF HARTSVILLE FOR HER DILIGENCE AND DEDICATION AS A GIRL SCOUT AND CONGRATULATE HER ON RECEIVING THE HIGHEST AWARD GIVEN IN GIRL SCOUTING--THE GIRL SCOUT GOLD AWARD.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to recognize young people in this State who selflessly give of their time, talents, and energy to better their local communities, the state, and ultimately our nation; and

Whereas, Laura Ashley Cook of Hartsville is one of these young people and, with her personality and determination, she is destined to become a future leader; and

Whereas, Girl Scouts across America are held in high regard and are taught the importance of academics and personal growth from trained professionals and volunteers who provide positive role models for today's youth; and

Whereas, the Girl Scout Gold Award symbolizes outstanding accomplishments in the areas of leadership, community service, career planning, and personal development and is earned by less than three percent of all senior girl scouts each year; and

Whereas, the highest award that a girl scout can achieve, the Girl Scout Gold Award, is the equivalent to a boy scout achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, and this prestigious award is given each year to only a few outstanding, hard-working, and dedicated young women; and

Whereas, Ms. Cook received this award on May 14, 2004, at the Cadette and Senior Girl Scout Recognition Celebration where her personal achievements over her years of scouting were honored; and

Whereas, through the Girl Scouts, the recipients of this award have gained invaluable knowledge and experience which have helped to shape them into responsible, competent, and caring young people; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the accomplishments and perseverance of Laura Ashley Cook as she sought to earn her award and in wishing her continued success in all her future endeavors. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend Laura Ashley Cook of Hartsville for her diligence and dedication as a girl scout and congratulate her on receiving the highest award given in girl scouting--the Girl Scout Gold Award.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Ms. Laura Ashley Cook of Hartsville.
