Gabrielle Montoya, 17, became the first girl in Valencia County, NM, to earn Eagle Scout, completing a five-year leadership journey.
Seventeen-year-old Gabrielle Montoya of Valencia County, New Mexico, has become the first girl in her county to earn the Eagle Scout rank, a milestone achieved after five years of leadership, service, and skill development.
The accomplishment follows Scouting America’s 2019 rebranding that opened the program to girls.
Montoya’s project repurposed old tires into dog beds for the local animal shelter, reflecting her dedication to animal welfare and environmental responsibility.
Her uniform displays over 40 merit badges in areas including first aid, space exploration, and shotgun safety—skills she says are preparing her for a future career as a veterinarian.
The achievement marks a significant moment in the region’s scouting history and highlights the expanding opportunities for girls in youth leadership programs.
