First Female Eagle Scout in Juneau | Anchorage News

Seventeen-year-old Ellie Carpenter just shattered history in Juneau by becoming the first-ever female Eagle Scout in the city — a monumental milestone for girls who’ve long been excluded from the program. Despite lingering resistance in some local troops, Ellie earned her rank through grit, leadership, and community service, including helping a church upgrade its audio-visual systems. At her ceremony, she honored every woman who came before her, turning her Eagle patch into a symbol of collective triumph. Her Scoutmaster beams with pride, calling her an inspiration — especially for girls who’ve doubted they belong. Now headed to college in Monaco, Ellie’s story is a rallying cry: this honor is for everyone, and you can earn it too.
