	WHEREAS, Amanda Lange of Troop 189 in Georgetown, a part of 
The Red Poppy Service Unit, has earned the highest award a Cadette 
Girl Scout can achieve, the Girl Scout Silver Award; and

received the From Dreams to Reality patch or completed five career 
activities, and earned the Cadette Girl Scout Leadership Award or 
Leadership Interest Project patch; and
	WHEREAS, In addition, she successfully completed a Silver 
Award project of benefit to others, which involved collecting teddy 
bears for The Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine's 
teddy bear surgery demonstration held during its open house; and
	WHEREAS, Under the guidance of troop leaders Lynn Morris and 
Christy Lange, this fine young woman has demonstrated outstanding 
initiative and an unwavering commitment to the ideals of the Girl 
Scout organization, and her efforts have won her the respect and 
admiration of her peers; and
	WHEREAS, Her dedication to excellence and her perseverance in 
the pursuit of her goals have proven Amanda Lange worthy to stand 
among scouting's elite, and it is most appropriate that she be 
honored at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Amanda Lange on earning the Girl 
Scout Silver Award and extend to her sincere best wishes for the 
future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Lange as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
