Eagle Scout candidate Evie Bunz gives back to Granby

At just 15 years old, Evie Bunz is poised to earn the rank of Eagle Scout—Scouting America’s highest rank and an accomplishment many scouts do not achieve until they are 17 or 18. A rising sophomore at Granby Memorial High School and a member of Troop 76G in Simsbury, Evie chose to dedicate her Eagle Scout service project to the Granby Land Trust, replacing an aging bridge on the trust’s Godard Preserve.
