Mary O'Malley-Trumble, a former Girl Scout, starting in elementary school through middle school, from a brownie to a junior to a cadet. 

The honor brings back those memories.

"When I first heard about being this year's nominee and recipient, it just brought back a floodgate of memories of what Girl Scouts meant to me personally. Things that you probably haven't thought about in many years and so it makes it just that much more special," said Mary O'Malley-Trumble. 

O'Malley-Trumble was honored for her contributions and commitment to the community. 

She said her time as a Girl Scout, shaped and guided her to where she is today.

"When I went back through my old photos and all the memories and the experiences, they've all led me to where I am today. So it's an organization that I'm just blessed to have been part of." 

She hopes other girls in our community join Girl Scouts, gaining important skills they'll have long after their time in the scouts 

"As you go through life and whether you go to graduate high school, you go to college, you take a different path. You get into your professional career, you're going to look back at those basic skills and you're not you're going to be so far ahead. I mean, the teamwork, the leadership organization, fundraising, board service, all that stuff, you've already done it."

Today, not just about how her dedication to service can inspire, but Mary herself was also inspired. 

"I'm going to sign up to be a mentor for the gold program because I think that's where you're high school age, so you're a little bit older and your priorities do start to shift. I think the gold award for something like 5% of the scouts achieve that, so I'd like to see that grow. Again, you're going to you're going to remember that forever. The impact you made is big."
