On May 4, Boy Scouts of America Troop 303G of Orinda held its first Eagle Court of Honor at St Stephen's Episcopal Church to commemorate the achievement of their first female Eagle Scouts, each of whom recently obtained scouting's highest rank. Honorees were Capri Filippenko, Caitlin Loughran, and Aimee Steinmeier.
Eagle Scout is the highest achievement or rank attainable in Boy Scouts of America's Scouts program.

Eagle Challenge was delivered by Eagle Scout Jenna Steele of Troop 402G from Lafayette CA. Darlene Gee, mayor of Orinda, presented each scout with an official proclamation of the Orinda City Council, declaring May 6 as Aimee Steinmeier Day, May 7 as Capri Filippenko Day, and May 8 as Caitlin Loughran Day. Representative Ryan-Thomas Brown andDeputy District Director from US Congressman Mark Desaulnier presented certificates of recognition and congratulations to the troop's first Eagle Scouts. Scouts also received certificates of congratulations from State Assembly Member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, State Senator Steve Glazer, Governor Newsom, and the Department of Defense. The newly confirmed Eagle Scouts thanked their Scout leaders, community, parents and fellow Scouts who helped them achieve this rank and honor.
