Senate Joint Resolution 7115, sponsored by Southerland, congratulates Kylie Patterson for earning the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can achieve. This award recognizes her exceptional leadership, community service, career planning, and personal development. To qualify for the Gold Award, Girl Scouts must complete five rigorous requirements that showcase their organizational, time management, and leadership skills.

Kylie Patterson's Gold Award project, titled "There's More to Art," involved providing twelve Chromebook tablets to the art classroom at Gatlinburg-Pittman Junior High School, enabling students to learn graphic design and digital art. This initiative not only enhanced the educational resources available to her community but also exemplified the spirit of volunteerism. The resolution expresses the Senate's recognition of Kylie's accomplishments and extends best wishes for her future success.
