🎙King in the Community — Kat White, Eagle Scout

BY SALINA POST

On this episode of King in the Community, host Nate King talks with Kat White, the first female Eagle Scout in the Triconda District. Kat reflects on her journey in Scouting America, the challenges she faced, and the support from her father, Eagle Scout Kevin White. She also shares the impact of her Eagle Project—a blessing box at University United Methodist Church—providing essential items to those in need.

Kevin White and Kat White point to their names on the Eagle Scout plaque at First Presbyterian Church in Salina, where generations of scouts from their troop are honored. They share the distinction of earning Scouting’s highest rank.

Also joining the conversation is Brendan Tackett, District Executive for the Triconda District, who provides insight into the 115th anniversary of Scouting, including female scouts, and the program's future.

From campouts to leadership development, Kat and Brendan reflect on how Scouting shapes young leaders and why more youth should get involved. Whether you're a past scout, a parent considering the program, or someone who loves a great story about how young people are improving our community, this is the episode for you.
