Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25), Young Kim (CA-40), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) introduced a bipartisan resolution to recognize March 12, 2024 as Girl Scouts Day and its 112th founding anniversary, and also honor the tremendous impact this group has on countless young women and girls over time. The bipartisan Members are co-chairs of Girl Scouts Troop Capitol Hill, and the resolution can be found here.

“From promoting a healthy body and mind, to increasing girls’ involvement in STEM and financial literacy, the Girl Scouts create future leaders our nation needs. I am so honored to represent the Girl Scouts as a Troop Capitol Hill Co-Chair and wholeheartedly support their efforts to lift our next generation of girls,” said Wasserman Schultz. “For 112 years, this organization developed the talents and confidence needed for a lifetime of leadership. The Girl Scouts show there is no limit to what girls can achieve and I am proud to introduce today’s Resolution on behalf of their pivotal work.”

“For 112 years, Girl Scouts of the USA has uplifted girls and young women across the country to become our future generation of problem solvers and leaders,” said Kim. “As a former Girl Scout and troop leader for my daughters, I’m proud to celebrate Girl Scouts of the USA’s work to create supportive networks and empower girls to succeed and achieve their dream. I’ll continue to fight for opportunities for women and girls, so they have the tools to do anything they set their minds to.”

“Growing up in a rural community, the Girl Scouts helped give me the courage to dream big and teach me the skills I needed to make my dreams a reality – and I’m not alone. For 112 years, the Girl Scouts have encouraged young girls across America to live courageously, follow their hearts, see their own potential, and be risk takers,” said Rodgers. “As a leader of Troop Capitol Hill, I’m proud to recognize the Girl Scouts today for their commitment to empowering the next generation of women to rise up and be bold leaders in everything they do.”

“I’m proud to co-lead this resolution honoring the 112th Girl Scout Day,” said Watson Coleman. “For 112 years, Girl Scouts of the USA has offered young women and girls an opportunity to make new friends, learn good skills, and pursue their aspirations. The Girl Scouts are about so much more than the cookies — although they are delicious — and I’m so grateful for all the good work they do for communities across the country.”
