VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND GIRL SCOUT JULIA MEGAN DIRKS, OF LEXINGTON COUNTY, FOR A MERITORIOUS EXPERIENCE IN SCOUTING, AND TO CONGRATULATE HER UPON THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A GOLD AWARD.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that the Girl Scout Council Panel has approved Julia Megan Dirks, after only two years in scouting, for the Girl Scout Gold Award when she successfully completed the requirements in May 2008; and
Whereas, the daughter of Donna and Robin Dirks, she is a junior at Lexington High School and a member of Grace Bible Alliance Church; and
Whereas, before beginning the Gold Award Project, Julia Dirks had already completed three interest projects pertaining to the Girl Scout Laws, the Senior Girl Scout Challenge, a Studio 2Bs Challenge, and a 4Bs Challenge and had earned the Senior Leadership Award and the Gold Career Exploration Award; and
Whereas, her Gold Award Project was Ronald McDonald House Compassion Meals, which included far more than providing and serving hot meals to the guests at the Ronald McDonald House; and
Whereas, with two other Girl Scouts in her troop, she created a master-menu book of twenty-two menu pages, each with a planned menu, recipes, shopping lists, and a budget, to be used by the staff and volunteers. The girls spoke to various community groups to encourage participation, conducted a workshop for younger girls to impart their passion for cooking, and shared their book with Ronald McDonald Houses throughout the Southeast; and
Whereas, Girl Scout Leader Jayda Wilson used her own skills and experience to mentor Julia Dirks and two other Senior Girl Scouts in Troop 211 from Mount Hebron United Methodist Church through the rigors of the Gold Award Project to help them learn the benefits of organized and deliberate service to others; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful to Julia Megan Dirks for the work she has done for the citizens of her community and the role model she is for young people of our fine State, and they look to hear of future successes from this talented young woman. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
