Northern Kentucky Welcomes its First Female Eagle Scout!

Congratulations to Northern Kentucky's first female Eagle Scout - Sydney W.! Sydney is a member of Troop 1437 out of the Campbell County Family YMCA in Fort Thomas. Sydney passed her Eagle Board of Review on December 30, 2021 to earn this prestigious rank.

Sydney’s project took place at the DCCH Center for Children and Families and was focused on teaching the crucial skill of cooking to the children there through instructional how-to videos. “They have all of their meals prepared for them and don’t get the opportunity to plan meals, grocery shop, or help cook”, said Sydney, “These videos provide simple and affordable recipes to aid them when they age out [of residential care]."

Congratulations Sydney! Thank you your dedication to Scouting and your service to the community!
