First Female Eagle Scout in Livingston County Honored

Last night our Board of Trustees had the privilege of honoring Jessica Witkowski- the first female to earn Eagle Rank in our community.  In 2019, the Boy Scouts of America opened to females, becoming Scouts BSA. Jessica is among the first inaugural class of female Scouts to earn the designation of Eagle Scout.

What often takes Scouts many years to achieve, Jessica has worked her way through all the ranks of Scouts since she joined in 2019. And as she set her sights on an Eagle Scout designation, serving our community has been an ultimate goal. Last winter, Jessica’s Life Rank project involved building and installing bluebird houses at Settlers Park. Then, when the pandemic struck last Spring, Jessica changed her original Eagle Scout plans to focus on the greatest need for the community.

With the help of classmates (coordinated over Zoom meetings), Jessica was able to make and distribute over 600 fabric masks to local elderly populations at Village Manor Retirement, Hartland Senior Center, and West Hickory Haven in Milford.

When given the opportunity to speak at out April 6, 2021 board meeting, Jessica thanked her community for all the support they have offered on herjourney through the ranks of Scout.
