Eagle Scout Ari M.: A Life Without Limits
When Ari M. first walked into a Troop 65 Sudbury meeting in the 5th grade, she hadn't so much as pitched a tent. She was there for the simplest of reasons: a friend, Katelyn, and the promise of cake. Today, Ari stands as a confident Eagle Scout—a transformation defined not by a career path, [...]
