Cheyanne Stirewalt, daughter of Richard and Sandra Stirewalt and a member of Troop 20282, educated children in the community about the history that surrounds them in historical Kings Mountain. To do this, Stirewalt created a video that captured the history behind the battle of Kings Mountain and shared it with children in a local school. Because of her project, the students came to appreciate their history-filled town that helped shape America. By earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, Stirewalt has become a community leader. Her accomplishments reflect leadership and citizenship skills that set her apart. "Earning the Girl Scout Gold Award designation is truly a remarkable achievement, and this young woman exemplifies leadership in all its forms," said Marcia Cole, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont. "She saw a need in her community and took action. Her extraordinary dedication, perseverance and leadership, is making the world a better place." The Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. After the minimum requirements are completed, the Gold Award project is the culmination of a girl's demonstration of selfdiscipline, leadership ability, time management, creativity, initiative and a significant mastery of skills. Each girl must dedicate a minimum of 80 hours to planning and implementing her project, which must benefit the community and have long lasting impact. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to go gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world. Some universities and colleges offer scholarships unique to Gold Award recipients, and girls who enlist in the Cheyanne Stirewalt First Baptist Church The Masters House Celebrates Eighth Anniversary 120 N.
