RECOGNIZING EMMA BRUNDAGE'S GOLD AWARD

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 6 (Monday, January 13, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 6 (Monday, January 13, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E17] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING EMMA BRUNDAGE'S GOLD AWARD ______ HON. MELANIE A. STANSBURY of new mexico in the house of representatives Monday, January 13, 2025 Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Emma Brundage. Emma is a member of Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails, Troop 10141, and has exemplified extraordinary leadership, creativity, and demonstrated a commitment to making a lasting impact, by earning the most prestigious award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award. Gold Award Girl Scouts are recognized as trailblazers who are willing to tackle the most pressing challenges facing their communities and the world with measurable, sustainable, and far-reaching results. To earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, high school-age Girl Scouts must identify and investigate an issue they care about, devise a plan, and then lead a team of experts and community members to implement a project that produces lasting change. Over the course of 1-2 years, Gold Award Girl Scouts demonstrate significant initiative, commitment, and leadership, distinguishing them from their peers. Through their resourcefulness and perseverance, they embody the Girl Scout Law to truly make the world a better place. Emma's project, ``My Hair is My CROWN'', was an excellent endeavor to address hair discrimination in our community. Emma took action by creating an educational exhibit, leading workshops on hair care and legal rights, and advocating for awareness about the CROWN Act at the New Mexico State Legislature to empower young girls to embrace their natural hair and feel confident in their identity, which will have a positive impact on our community for years to come. On behalf of the 1st Congressional District of New Mexico, congratulations to Emma Brundage for her efforts put forth in achieving the highest distinction in Girl Scouts, the Gold Award. I thank Emma for all the hard work she has done for our community. ____________________
