the country are speaking
up in their communi-
ties and educating oth-
ers on the importance
of inclusivity in their
neighborhoods. Girls are
impacting the world in a
safe and meaningful way
by lending their voice to
underrepresented com-
munities and leading so-
cial change. According to
the Human Rights Cam-
paign, an organization
focused on the equality
of LGBT+ people, only 26
percent of LGBT+ youth
say they always feel safe
in their school classrooms
and just five percent say
all of their teachers and
school staff are support-
ive of LGBTQ people.
Raising awareness of the
LGBT+ community and
celebrating the differ-
ent identities within the
LGBT+ people promotes
a sense of safety and ac-

Heather Miller, an Elgin
High School senior, is
working on earning the
Girl Scout Gold Award.
The Gold Award chal-
lenges Girl Scouts to
develop projects which
address local and global
issues with sustainable
solutions. Heather has
raised over $4,000 and
worked a total of 86
hours to dedicate a mural
in Elgin to highlight the
importance of representa-
tion of the LGBT+ com-
munity. With the support
of Elgin’s Main Street
Board, Miller’s mural
forms part of the public
arts plan for downtown
Elgin, which aims to
showcase the communi-
ty’s diversity.
Given the unprece-
dented nature of last
year’s social justice
events, Girl Scouts across

mural because I and
many of the people I
know are part of the
LGBT+ community,” said
Miller. “I will use this
mural on the Main Street
in Elgin to show support
and love towards the
LGBT+ community.”
Miller said the mural,
which was commissioned
by local artist Ashley
Smith, was well received
by the community and
she did not receive any
negativity while working
on the project.
“I was like, ‘Let’s do
this,”’ Smith said. “We
love to cultivate creativ-
ity in the community and
it’s easy to show support
to someone who thinks
outside the box.”
Miller’s Troop 2334,
which has been together
for 12 years, thought she
was brave for choosing to
tackle a sometimes-sensi-
tive subject.
Heather graduated from
Elgin High School in May
2021 and will attend Austin
Community College before
transferring to a four-year
university to pursue a de-
gree in mathematics.
You can find the mural
at 112 East 22nd street in
downtown Elgin on the
south-facing wall.
