Leah is not only a member of their prestigious rank, she is the first girl in Concord to achieve it. In November, she and Anna Campbell, Acton’s first female Eagle Scout, were recognized in the traditional Court of Honor ceremony. Last week, Rep. Simon Cataldo, D-14th Middlesex, recognized the girls for their outstanding achievements.
