Advocating on
Behalf of Girls
� Along with other councils, we reached out to our
Congressmen to pass the Pension Relief bill. Its sub-
sequent passage will result in a more level repayment
plan so that a greater share of our budget may return
to directly benefiting girls and volunteers. Only three
percent of all action by Congress was unanimous
during this past year, including this Girl Scout Pension
Relief project.
� During the annual District Congressional Advocacy
Days we met directly with each of the five South
Carolina Congressmen whose districts are within our
council jurisdiction. We updated them on our state’s
Girl Scout legislative agenda and other areas of
concern impacting the health and well-being of girls
in our council.
� We co-hosted one of the South Carolina General As-
sembly Women’s Caucus monthly breakfast meet-
ings. This bipartisan group comprises our state’s
Honorary Girl Scout Troop 1912.
� This year’s three-day South Carolina Honorary
Legislative Page Program in March included 12 girls
from across the state. They learned first-hand about
the legislative process and visited with their district
Congressmen or a staff member.

Its sub- sequent passage will result in a more level repayment plan so that a greater share of our budget may return to directly benefiting girls and volunteers. Only three percent of all action by Congress was unanimous during this past year, including this Girl Scout Pension Relief project. � During the annual District Congressional Advocacy Days we met directly with each of the five South Carolina Congressmen whose districts are within our council jurisdiction. We updated them on our state’s Girl Scout legislative agenda and other areas of concern impacting the health and well-being of girls in our council. � We co-hosted one of the South Carolina General As- sembly Women’s Caucus monthly breakfast meet- ings. This bipartisan group comprises our state’s Honorary Girl Scout Troop 1912. � This year’s three-day South Carolina Honorary Legislative Page Program in March included 12 girls from across the state. They learned first-hand about the legislative process and visited with their district Congressmen or a staff member. GSSCMM Closed GSSCMM Closed Hanukkah begins Kwanzaa begins
