SCR 52 is a ceremonial concurrent resolution recognizing March 12, 2025, as Girl Scout Day in California. It applauds the California Girl Scout Councils for 113 years of service and highlights the organization’s mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character. The resolution also notes the Girl Scouts’ programming in STEM, outdoor education, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and leadership development, as well as the historical legacy of founder Juliette Gordon Low.
The measure further celebrates the impact of Girl Scouts in California by citing the more than 400 California Girl Scouts who earned the Gold Award in 2024 and the organization’s statewide reach through its regional councils. It also references the release of the Juliette Gordon Low commemorative quarter as part of the broader recognition of the Girl Scout movement and its founder’s legacy.
Impact
SCR 52 does not change California statutory law, create a new program, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is limited to a legislative commemoration and official recognition of Girl Scout Day, with the Secretary of the Senate directed to transmit copies of the resolution for distribution. The resolution primarily affects the symbolic standing of the Girl Scouts and acknowledges the organization’s role in youth development, civic education, and community service.
Sentiment
The overall sentiment around the bill was strongly positive and noncontroversial. It passed both chambers unanimously and was placed on the consent calendar, indicating broad bipartisan support and no recorded opposition. The tone of the resolution itself is celebratory, emphasizing the Girl Scouts’ contributions to leadership, service, and community impact.
Contention
There was no notable policy contention or substantive disagreement reflected in the bill text, votes, or available discussion materials. Because the measure is honorary rather than regulatory, it did not appear to raise fiscal, legal, or ideological disputes. Any discussion would likely have centered on recognition of the organization’s achievements and statewide presence rather than on contested legislative issues.
