Brenna Futrell didnât set out to become the first woman in the Fredericksburg area to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout, but this spring she reached that milestone.
âItâs an incredible honor, but itâs not important to be the firstâit wasnât my goal,â said Futrell, 18, now a freshman at Liberty University. âBut now that I have succeeded, I want to share my love of Scouting with others.
âIâm a firm believer that gender doesnât matterâit shouldnât matter,â she continued.
Futrell completed requirements for the rank last month. For her service project, she designed and built 26 portable dividers for use by Cooking Autism, a nonprofit that supplies a grant and modeled life-skills curriculum to area schools.
