Blazing New Trails
Being a little sister can be challenging. Even more so when you see older brothers achieving things not available to you, such as earning an Eagle rank in Scouting.
Fear not, little sisters. Your time has come.
The all-girl Cub Scout Pack 2018 in Edgewater is now working on achieving the same ranks and honors as their male counterparts. It’s a new program causing some waves in the world of Scouting.
“I have been poking the leadership in our local council for months on this,” says leader Catherine Gillies. “They finally announced in January that our group would join the early adopter program for allowing girls in Cub Scouting.”
The new pack tackles the same activities as the boys, just in an all-girl setting — and with an added element of competition.
