Sophia Bunyasaranand qualified for this honor after facilitating and executing projects that enhanced their society and, therefore, the people who occupy it.

Suwanee, Takahashi refurbished Jack Towne’s Eagle Scout project at Epiphany LutheranChurch, Johnson created a sensory respite tent at Suwanee Fest for overwhelmed individuals, and Bunyasaranand built wheelchair- accessible planter boxes at the garden for White Oak Elementary.
The innovation these girls introduced to local areas have improved the quality, accessibility, and connectivity of these locations. They are members of Eagle Scout

leadership and empathy has set a positive example and made a genuine difference in the local community.
