13-year-old Diana girl to become youngest female Eagle Scout in East Texas

Cheyenne Hall is joining girls nationwide who've earned the coveted Eagle Scout rank.

Cheyenne Hall, a 13-year-old female member of Longview Scouts BSA Troop 618G and Ore City Scouts BSA Troop 307G, rebuilt outdoor equipment at the therapeutic center for her Eagle Scout project.
