The Boy Scouts of America’s Grand Canyon Council, a nonprofit chartered by the Boy Scouts of America in Arizona, honored six Scouts who have made a distinctive impact in the community as the 2024 Scouts of the Year.
The selected honorees will be awarded the distinction of 2024 Scout of the Year at a public event this summer. The awarded youth, Ella Miller, Gideon Akaelue, Mayzie Richins, Morgan Willis, Ryan Martin, and Vaughn Grosse will represent the Grand Canyon Council throughout the year at council events, media opportunities and executive board meetings.
“This is the Grand Canyon Council’s second year of offering the Scouts of the Year awards,” Andy Price, the Grand Canyon Council’s CEO and scout executive, shared in a press release. “We are extremely impressed with the six outstanding youth that were nominated by their peers and the Scouting community. We look forward to having them represent our Council and help promote the endless benefits Scouting provides to our community.”
Willis has been an avid Scout for nearly a decade. She is a founding member of BSA Troop 3030 in Glendale; trained in Outdoor Ethics and Leave No Trace; and also participated in National Youth Leadership Training and National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience. Beyond Scouting, she excels in music, playing violin and double bass for the Arizona State University Strings Project Youth Orchestra, and has academic and JROTC achievements.
