We are proud to celebrate Mia, the first female Eagle Scout in Troop 312!
Before girls were allowed in Cub Scouts, Mia watched her older brother participate and wished she could join too. When scouting opened to girls, she jumped in wholeheartedly, moving from Cub Scouts into Scouting America and embracing every adventure and leadership opportunity along the way.
As a member of her home Troop 312 and a member of Troop 681 in Seattle, Mia has built friendships, leadership skills, and a reputation for kindness and inclusion everywhere she’s been.
She has attended Philmont Scout Ranch twice and is returning again this year as an employee. For her Eagle project, she built raised garden beds for the Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation.
Her Eagle Court of Honor was filled with Scouts and leaders from Troop 312 and a member of Troop 681, reflecting just how many lives she has touched through Scouting.
In her remarks, Mia thanked those who paved the way for girls in Scouting and honored Scouts who came before her. Her words were thoughtful, brave, and deeply moving.
“Mia is one of the kindest and most compassionate souls I know. She has always been a champion for inclusion in our unit, and always makes new folks feel welcome. She truly embodies the Scout spirit.” - Steve Jensen, Scout Leader, Troop 312
Congratulations, Mia. We are proud of the leader you are and excited to see where your trail leads next.
