Epic Texas Eagle Scout Now Shares All-Time Record
Scouting America, formally known as Boy Scouts of America, has been a program in Texas for over 100 years, and it has helped prepare tweens and teens learn many practical life skills that continue to be drawn upon for the remainder of their lives no matter what age they reach. One way to ensure a skill has been mastered is by earning a merit badge that symbolizes their demonstration of those abilities in important fields like first aid, swimming, and camping.

Emergency response is a life long necessary skill for anyone, not just those whose careers are part of the first responder industry. The scout motto is, "Be prepared," and by learning and earning all 138 eligible merit badges, Caroline Newby is better positioned to also abide by the scout slogan to, "Do a good turn daily."
Newby is 16 years old, so she still has some time to continue learning and growing within her Austin based Troop 72, but as an Eagle Scout with a record tying 138 merit badges, she might need a few new courses to be added to assist in furthering her development.
