Trussville recognizes two Girl Scouts for Gold Award projects promoting art and sewing skills
Summary
The council presented proclamations to Veronica Walker and Olivia Evans for Gold Award projects: Walker’s 'Birmingham is Beautiful' mural patch program and day camp; Evans taught basic sewing skills at a public library to reduce waste and teach reuse.
Trussville City Council presented proclamations honoring two local Girl Scouts who earned the Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting.
Veronica Walker described her Gold Award project, "Birmingham is Beautiful," as a civic-arts initiative that highlights downtown murals and encourages girls to explore art as a form of civic expression. "Girl Scouts taught me to notice the beauty around me and appreciate the details...that was the beginning of the inspiration for my Gold Award project," Walker said. Walker also said the project will continue as a day camp at the Girl Scout Dream Lab.
Olivia Evans told the council her project was a public-library program teaching basic sewing skills. "I was able to teach people how to learn basic sewing skills," Evans said, adding that teaching small repair skills helps reduce waste by keeping clothing in use.
Councilors praised both recipients for civic engagement and community impact and presented proclamations recognizing their contributions. The council encouraged continued local support for youth leadership programs.
