WISCONSIN — A group of girls all across the state of Wisconsin is making history of their own. 

Two years ago, girls were first allowed in the Boy Scouts of America, and in that time 35 girls across the state have put in countless hours to achieve the highest rank, earning them the title of an Eagle Scout.

“I had always wanted to be an Eagle Scout, but then I found out we could be in the scouts, I knew I was going to be an Eagle Scout because we finally got the opportunity,” scout member Annastasia Wischki said.

While there are 35 new Eagle Scouts across Wisconsin, there are just over 1,000 across the U.S., all female. This is the first class of female Eagle Scouts since the Boy Scouts of America first allowed girls two years ago.

“It’s crazy to think that something I put my mind to has such a long lasting effect on other females and I think it’s incredible that I am able to be apart of that trailblazing group of women and I was very happy to be able to have that experience,” Eagle Scout Annie Scheidt said.

Scheidt, from southeastern Wisconsin, got to take this task on with her sister. They both come from a family of Eagle Scouts and were excited that their turn was finally here.

“I was very excited to get the knowledge aspect and get the survival skills and be exposed to the same things that my brothers had been,” scout member Caroline Scheidt said.

While many of these girls across Wisconsin may not know each other, they all went through this process at the same time and have a whole lot in common.

“It feels very surreal. It is something I have looked up to my entire life even before I knew what it was. It is not something that you should look at like a grain of salt because it is certainly a huge accomplishment and something that will stick with you through the rest of your life,” Eagle Scout Jaisyn Daher said.

They have spent the last two years collecting countless badges along the way and completing their Eagle Scout projects across their communities to make a lasting impact.

“My hope is that if they want it they will strive for it and achieve it that they will put their passion into something like this is they are passionate about it and they will keep working hard to get the honor and the rank of eagle and then be able to help other people as well,” Wischki said.

Now, this group of girls are making their way to grown women by adding yet another major accomplishment under their belt, all while representing the Badger State.
