Jyllian and Meredith Beran made history on Feb. 20 by becoming the first female Scouts in Rapides Parish to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. The achievement was celebrated during a Court of Honor at St. Francis & Anne’s Catholic Church.

The sisters were recognized for their dedication, perseverance, leadership, and commitment to service—qualities that exemplify the highest standards of Scouting.

Scoutmaster Gabi Stiltner and Troop 626 were acknowledged for their mentorship, and the Berans’ parents were credited for providing guidance and support that helped make this milestone possible.

State Representative Mike Johnson attended the ceremony, calling it an “uplifting experience” and congratulating the sisters on their historic accomplishment.
