  WHEREAS, Girl Scouting has expanded the horizons  of  the  countless
hundreds  of  thousands who have participated in Scouting programs which
have made Scouting an American and international institution; and

  WHEREAS, To achieve this goal, Jessica Shaw and her friend explained
the game and presented their proposal to the diocesan youth director  in
Jeremie, who gladly accepted the challenge; and

  WHEREAS,  Jessica  Shaw  and her friend then shipped a barrel filled
with softball equipment for two teams, Team Jessica  and  Team  Brianna,
and  raised  funds to pay the coaches during the three-month period; the
girls also sent self-made instructional videos on different  aspects  of
the game; and

  WHEREAS,  Jessica  Shaw  is  a credit to her family, her school, her
community, her State and her Nation, and no doubt  her  future  will  be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Jessica Shaw, recognizing her achievement  in  earning  the
Girl  Scout  Silver  Award, and to wish her continued success in all her
future endeavors; and be it further
