DARIEN Darien Scouts announced in summer 2019 that it would be starting its first girls troop after the Boy Scouts of America announced it would expand its scouting program.
Now, the 100-year-old program will welcome Darien High School junior Lindsay Ferretti as its first female Eagle Scout.
Ferretti, who also serves a junior fire fighter, said she became interested in joining the program after a ninth-grade field trip with the New Canaan Country School to the Appalachian Trail.
