BIRMINGHAM/BLOOMFIELD When longtime Scout mom Heidi Kreindler caught word that the National Boy Scouts of America was going to open its prestigious Eagle Scout program to girls back in 2019, she wanted no part of it.
“I was dead set against it,” Kreindler said with a laugh. “I said ‘Boys need to be with boys, and girls need to be with girls.’”
But her 16-year-old daughter Chloe Kreindler, a junior at Seaholm High School, had a different opinion. The Girl Scout wanted to make history as one of the first females to attain that esteemed rank of Eagle Scout, which only 6% of all Scouts achieve.
