According to the
Portland Press Herald, Mai Dawbin, an 18-year-old from West Gardiner is a great role model. She's Maine Pine Tree Council’s first female Eagle Scout and is one of almost 1,000 young women around the country reaching the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America.

Mia's father was an Eagle Scout also and very proud. For her Eagle Scout project, she made care packages to send to some Maine homeless shelters during the pandemic. This was about five months into the pandemic, and even though evictions were put on hold, there was no word if this would be extended. She started raising money pay for the items she would need for the care packages — cloth masks, soap, hand sanitizer, personal hygiene items like razors and tampons, socks, snacks, notebooks, crayons, and toys and games.
