Bossier City teen Haley Henderson made history on Tuesday when she became the first female Eagle Scout in northwest Louisiana, a prestigious achievement attained by some of the country’s most noteworthy figures.
Henderson is among hundreds of young women who will make up the Inaugural Class of female Eagle Scouts.
“Earning the rank of Eagle Scout takes hard work and perseverance, and we are honored to recognize Haley Henderson for this significant accomplishment,” Scout Executive and CEO of the Norwela Council Jeff Brasher said. Along the journey to Eagle Scout, young people gain new skills, learn to overcome obstacles and demonstrate leadership among their peers and in their communities. These benefits are invaluable for everyone, and we are thrilled that they are now available to even more youth.”
