Two Black girls in Michigan are making Eagle Scout history. Kimani Brame and Phoenix Moyer are the first in the state to reach the status for the all-gender Scouts.

The high schoolers in Grand Rapids earned at least 21 merit badges to achieve the new ranking. The girls were encouraged by their fathers, troop leaders themselves, and older brothers who took part in the program. This accomplishment became possible only after the Boy Scouts of America expanded into the gender-inclusive Scouts in 2019.
