IN RECOGNITION OF GABRIELLA MAYREND FOR ACHIEVING THE RANK OF EAGLE
SCOUT
______
HON. DEBBIE DINGELL
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Monday, February 1, 2021
Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Gabriella Mayrend of Ypsilanti for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. A freshman at Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Miss Mayrend of Troop 439G, is the first female Eagle Scout from the Huron Trails District based in Washtenaw County and is a member of the inaugural female Eagle Scout class.
Miss Mayrend was inspired to join Scouts BSA because of her love of adventure and the outdoors. Since then she has earned an impressive forty-one merit badges while serving as a leader in her all-female troop. Since 1910, Scouts BSA has taught members the fundamentals of becoming a responsible citizen who makes moral and ethical choices in their lives. Eagle Scouts are leaders in every sense of the word, and Gabriella is no different. Miss Mayrend is the newest Eagle Scout in her family and is upholding the legacy that began with her great-
grandfather.
Her project, entitled Faholo Fire was completed at Camp Faholo in Grass Lake, a local camp that requested her assistance in rebuilding their four firepits. She repaired the decaying firepits and constructed twenty new benches and handcrafted four new firewood storage boxes. Additionally, she cleaned and repainted the camp's existing benches and upgraded them to a new set of swinging benches.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in congratulating Gabriella Mayrend for becoming the first female in the Huron Trails District to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. We are grateful for her service and dedication to the Washtenaw County community.
