        CONGRATULATING  Rachel Levine upon the occasion of

        the most prestigious of Scouting honors, on June 12,
        2022

  WHEREAS,  Through  her diligence and rigorous efforts, Rachel Levine
has achieved Scouting's highest and most  prestigious  honor,  the  Girl
Scout  Gold  Award;  the ceremony will be held on Sunday, June 12, 2022;
and

  WHEREAS, Rachel Levine is a member of Scarsdale Edgemont Girl Scouts
of America; and

  WHEREAS, America has achieved her greatest heights of glory  through
the  dedication,  determination, and tireless efforts of the outstanding
citizens of this Nation; and

  WHEREAS, It is only with the continued diligence and devotion of our
youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and

  WHEREAS, The Girl Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to
the development of character and leadership in the youth of this Nation;
and

  WHEREAS, Since 1916, Senior Girl Scouts have capped their  years  of
achievement in Girl Scouting with the Girl Scout Gold Award; and

  WHEREAS,  In  order  to  earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, a girl must
fulfill five requirements; chief among them is the design and completion
of a Gold Award Project; this project must build upon the  interests  of
the girl, provide a service to the community, and be of lasting benefit;
and

  WHEREAS,  For  her  project  entitled  "AdoptADog101," Rachel Levine
aimed to address  the  issue  of  overpopulation  of  homeless  dogs  by
spreading  the  message  of  adopting  dogs from shelters and kennels as
opposed to shopping for dogs at breeding facilities and pet  shops;  she
also  created an informative website that explains the adoption process,
the importance of adoption, when to adopt,  and  which  breed  to  adopt
given specific conditions such as fur allergies; and

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

  WHEREAS,  Rachel  Levine  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  Rachel  Levine  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 Rachel Levine.
