years  in  Girl  Scouting  with  the prized Girl Scout Gold Award, which
challenges girls to change the world; and

complete   a  rigorous  set  of  service,  leadership  development,  and
skill-building tasks leading  up  to  the  final  and  most  challenging
requirement,  the  design  and completion of a Take Action Project; this
project must be an issue of interest to  the  girl  and  her  community,
employ team-based solutions, and educate and inspire others; and

  WHEREAS,  For her project entitled, Unifying Movement Forum, Pranjal
Jain  created  a  social  justice  forum  at  Herrick  High  School  and
coordinated  social  justice events such as Pinning Herricks Together to

panel on women's issues; and

  WHEREAS,  This outstanding young woman has been involved in Scouting
for years, has lived up to Scouting's ideals and has attained all of the
necessary achievements; and

  WHEREAS, Pranjal Jain 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,  in
recognition  of  the  significance  of  this meritorious achievement, to
congratulate and honor Pranjal Jain upon the occasion of her designation
as recipient of the Girl Scout Gold Award; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Pranjal Jain.
