CONGRATULATING THE GIRL SCOUTS OF SAN JACINTO COUNCIL
(Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council on their century of service to the girls of southeast Texas. One hundred years ago, the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council was founded in Texas. Today, the council has grown immensely to 54,000 Girl Scout members. That is a lot of girls who are being empowered to lead and serve.
You see, Girl Scouts are changemakers who become bold and strong leaders. In fact, the 117th Congress boasts a record number of women members, and more than 55 percent of us are Girl Scout alums.
While I never really was a Girl Scout, I served on their board for many years in Houston, and I know firsthand no matter what these Girl Scouts choose to do in life, they will be well-prepared.
I can't wait to see what the next 100 years will bring to the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council.
