Izabella McCutchen has accomplished a lot in her brief time as a member of Scouts BSA. But it was her demeanor during one dinner that maybe says the most about her character.
She attended the mayor’s breakfast earlier this month and sat with some leaders in Abilene, such as CEO of Texas Trails Council Mark Conrad.
“They were just so impressed with her and her ability to lead. She sat at the table and had command of the table. They actually called me the next day and told me the story of how impressed they were with her,” said Conrad.
