EAU CLAIRE, Wis.— A Wisconsin teen is making history. 

16-year-old Madelynn Branco just became an Eagle Scout: One of the first girls to do so in the country. 

On Feb. 1, it will have been two years since the Boy Scouts of America first allowed girls to join the ranks.

Once given the all-clear, Madelynn was ready to jump in. After all, scouting is a family affair for the Branco bunch. 

"She used to be in Girl Scouts; now she is in Boy Scouts, so we all go to meeting together,“ says Mitchell.

And while Madelynn isn't the first in her family to join Scouts BSA, she will be the first among her siblings to earn the honor of being named an Eagle Scout. 

"It was funny because Mitchell has been in scouts longer, and Maddie got it before him," says her 13-year-old brother Marshall about his older siblings. He's also a scout, by the way. "It proves girls can do things boys can't do sometimes." 

Needless to say, Madelynn's earned bragging rights around her house. 

She's also the first to achieve the Scouts BSA’s highest-ranking from the Chippewa Valley council. 

However, these siblings know it's not about who finishes first.

"It's about doing your best every day to live your life the way you want to live," says Madelynn. 

And Madelynn says she's not in it for the glitz and glam. Through Scouts BSA, Madelynn's been able to showcase her determination while helping out her community. 

"We all like scouting because it gives us a step up on life," says Madelynn. 

That scouting pride runs in the family. 

Their father, Micheal was a scout and is dubbed the driving familial force behind everyone's passion for scouting. 

"It’s something my dad used to do with the boys," Madelynn says. "I joined scouting after he died, but I know he's proud... He is always here with me."

With determination, hard work- and commitment, Madelynn proves there's nothing this girl— or any girl, for that matter—  can't do.
