Brenna's parents are extremely proud of her achievements, stating "when Brenna joined BSA in 2019 as Holmes County founded their first female troop, she had one goal in mind...make Eagle, just as her brothers and grandfather had done.  Brenna wanted to improve her community and try to encourage young people to move to Millersburg.  Her love for music gave her the idea for an outdoor venue.  She then systematically presented a plan to the Village of Millersburg Council on the area, three different types of Amphitheaters and a plan to raise money through selling engraved bricks for the stage area.  Brenna single-handedly raised $56,000 through brick sales, attending philanthropic organization meetings and meeting with business leaders soliciting donations.  Brenna wanted to "Go big or go home".  She was determined to build the amphitheater she had dreamed of building.  She led a team of environmentalists, engineers, volunteers and excavators to build a 6 tier stone amphitheater with seating for 200+ and a 60 ft x 40 ft brick stage, highlighted by engraved bricks from companies and individuals who supported her project.  Brenna has been an exemplary example to her fellow scouts, helping them through rank and setting an example of how you can achieve your dreams through hard work and dedication."

"I have always been very driven by goals which made BSA a perfect fit for me. In Girl Scouts you achieve ranks by advancing through school grades. As a boy scout I had to develop different skills throughout each rank in order to advance. Watching my brothers go through the program I realized the impact that becoming an Eagle Scout has and it inspired me to pursue the rank of Eagle. Scouting to me is much more than ranks and merit badges, it's being a role model to younger scouts, providing a helping hand even when you aren't asked and learning from your environment (whether it be the place or the people in it)." - Brenna Barbey
