Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and four of their Senate colleagues introduced a bipartisan resolution to recognize the 114^th birthday of the Girl Scouts of America and celebrate its legacy of empowering girls and building powerful leaders.

"As a former Girl Scout myself, I know how valuable its guiding principles of courage, confidence, and character are to helping young Nevadans grow into women who have the power to make the world a better place," said Senator Cortez Masto. "I'm proud to stand alongside my colleagues to celebrate Girl Scouts of America's 114^th birthday and honor the work they do to empower girls across the country."

"I still use the leadership skills that I developed in the Girl Scouts as a young woman in my daily life," said Senator Duckworth. "For 114 years, Girl Scouts of America has instilled the values of service and how to always 'be prepared' in generations of girls, empowering them to lead wherever they go-in business, science, public service and beyond. I'm proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution to commemorate and honor this historic organization."

"Girl Scouts of the USA continues to instill self-confidence, resilience, and a sense of adventure in all young women," said Senator Capito. "As an alum myself, it's wonderful to see this tradition and legacy of leadership continue to inspire the next generation of young women. I am proud to cosponsor this resolution recognizing the 114th anniversary of the Girl Scouts and look forward to seeing their good work encouraging lifelong leadership skills in young women for generations to come."
