Victor teen becomes first female Eagle Scout to earn all merit badges in Seneca Waterways Council
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A founding member of Troop 6060 has made local history for being the first female Eagle Scout to earn all merit badges in the Seneca Waterways Council!
After winning the new Multisport badge last month, Sabrina Bhalla earned all 139 merit badges! This is a rare accomplishment — only .1% of scouts nationwide have earned all these badges.
Sabrina began as a scout in March 2019 and advanced to the Tenderfoot rank in just three months. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic didn't slow Sabrina down as she grabbed her hiking and cycling merit badges.
By that fall, the then 13-year-old Sabrina set out on her journey to earn every single badge, which she finally accomplished!
Some other achievements Sabrina earned included installing Little Free Libraries in Victor parks upon becoming an Eagle Scout, rappelling down the Kodak Building during 21 Stories for Scouts, winning the National Outdoor Achievement Awards in Camping, Conservation, Hiking, and Riding, and many more!
News 8 congratulates Sabrina on her achievements!
