Chandler Cub Scout on list of region honorees

Posted

Scouting Arizona’s Grand Canyon Council announced it’s honoring nine scouts who have made a distinctive impact in the community through leadership, citizenship, Scout spirit, heroism or community service.

One of the nine honorees is from Chandler, according to a news release.

The selected honorees will be awarded their distinction at a public event this summer.

The 2025 Scouts of the Year will represent Scouting Arizona throughout the year at council events, through media opportunities and in executive board meetings.

This is the first year that Cub Scouts of the Year. Mackenzie H. of Chandler and Jack J. of Scottsdale will also take on this role.

Mackenzie was selected as Cub Scout of the Year due to her natural ability to inspire those around her. She has proven to be a master recruiter as her passion and enthusiasm have influenced incredible den growth, doubling the size of both the Lions and Tigers dens.

At a young age, she holds scouting's values in high regard and innately draws interest through her positivity and eagerness, the release states.

The council’s Scouts of the Year include Jose S. of Mesa, Christopher B. of the Deer Valley area, Elsa C. of Glendale, Conrad R. and Madelyn L. of Phoenix and Megan M. of Cave Creek.

GCC has introduced its first Explorer of the Year, Bianca G., to honor her dedication to the Wellton Border Patrol Explorer Program.
