[quote=Anonymous]Arlington Magazine just profiled this young woman: Natural Inclination Julianne Meany isn’t exactly a homebody. You’re more likely to find her out paddling a sea kayak, scaling a ropes course, hauling a backpack over mountain trails or rock climbing. These and other outings recently led the 16-year-old to earn the prestigious Ranger Award, a coed honor issued by the Boy Scouts that’s akin to—and, some say, tougher to earn than—Eagle Scout. A student at H-B Woodlawn and resident of Country Club Hills, Meany is a member of the coed troop Venturing Crew 2473. She is believed to be the first person in Arlington to earn the medal. “She’s extremely resourceful, and has carried an emergency kit everywhere she goes since third grade,” says her mom, Heidi Daniel. “We beg her to leave it behind when she’s wearing a dress.” What’s next on the teen’s to-do list? Her latest goals include hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (made famous by Cheryl Strayed in the book Wild) and backpacking through New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. http://www.arlingtonmagazine.com/May-June-2015/Neighborhood-Watch/[/quote]
