Evangelina Wong recently became the youngest of the first group of female Eagle Scouts in the BSA GLACC Rose Bowl District.
Wong, 14, is a freshman at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra and was inaugurated on Feb. 8.
Her aspirations include becoming a medical professional after attending UCLA and medical school. She has been scouting for seven years and is a proud founding member of Scouts BSA Troop 360 in San Marino and an inspiring leader since Feb. 1, 2019.
Wong completed all of her requirements in 22 months. During the coronavirus pandemic, she completed her Eagle Project by serving Troop 360’s chartered organization, St. Edmund’s Episcopal Church. She led her parents in restoring four damaged walls at the youth center and built an oak wood frame for her educational art piece to be displayed on one of the refurbished walls.
Wong is also working toward her Girl Scout Gold Award.
