Sofia Thornill to be honored as Eagle Scout
Senior Sofia Thornhill will be advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout by the Boys Scouts of America during a court of honor ceremony this weekend.        

    

Sofia joins an extraordinary group of men and women who have earned the Eagle Scout rank, including acclaimed film director Steven Spielberg, retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, and Walmart founder Sam Walton. Only about 6% of all Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts.

Girls have been accepted into the Boys Scouts since 2019. In 2021, the first 1,000 girls became Eagle Scouts.

Sofia's Eagle Scout project involved the construction of collapsible instrument stands for American Zagreb Junior Tamburitza (AZJT). These stands will be easier for the group to transport and store. Sofia and her team of volunteers devoted more than 75 hours to the project.
