Golden hours at Lake Kyle butterfly habitat

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] local Kyle Girl Scout has been awarded the Gold Award by the Girl Scouts of America organization for the creation of a butterfly habitat at Lake Kyle Park.

Valeri Redd, 19, said she joined the Girl Scouts when she was in first grade and has been an active member of the organization for 12 years until she graduated from Lehman High School in May of 2017.

“I don’t remember why I joined, I was too young,” Redd said. “But I do remember why I stayed. Girl Scouts was a second family for me. I made lifetime friends there.”
