Zoe Valdez, a fourteen year old student at Walnut Grove Christian School in Fort Mill, S.C., has raised over $20,000 to build an education pavilion right on campus grounds.  Valdez started working on the new pavilion after she had spoken to the head of school Kyle Boyd and discussing what new additions could be good for the school.

With her work on the pavilion and many other community projects, she’s now becoming one of the youngest women to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, a title only 4% of scouts have ever held.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank possible in scouting. According to Boy Scouts of America, a scout “must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills.”

What this young lady is doing and has done for her fellow classmates will go down as historic.  We need more children like her that are willing to take the initiative to do more things for their community.
