Boy Scouts, how far would you go to earn your Eagle Scout rank? How about traveling to Texas from Spain or South Korea?
BSA Troop 1899 Girls at the First Unitarian Church welcomed teens from those countries for the 2024-25 school year and celebrated with them a few months ago as they earned Boy Scouting’s highest rank.
Exchange students María Hernandez Cazorla and Seoyoung Kee stayed with U.S. guardians Pierre and Dorothy Krouse, of University Park, while spending a school year at Highland Park High School, María’s sophomore and Seoyoung’s junior years.
“Seoyoung actually also earned the highest rank in Korea, which is the Tiger Scout,” Dorothy Krouse said.
