Jolie Elliott with her Eagle Scout award.
Edmonds resident Jolie Elliott, 19, of Troop 319 recently became the first female member of Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts of America) Salish Sea District to achieve the organization’s highest rank of Eagle Scout.
While she can appreciate that distinction, Elliott said she’s even more happy that other young women will soon be joining her in the accomplishment. “In my troop alone there’s three people working on their Eagle, and we all started at around the same time, it was just a stroke of luck that I happened to finish first,” she added. “So I’m just really excited to see all of the amazing people who will be getting this after me and it won’t actually be a big deal which is most exciting for me.”
