Taryn Lambert, a junior at Amador Valley High School, successfully completed her Eagle Scout Board of Review recently, becoming one of the first girl Eagle Scouts in the Tri-Valley.
She is a member of Troop 998G, which was formed on Feb. 1, 2019, and is led by Scoutmaster Kimberly Carlson. The troop is sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post No. 6298.
Lambert served as senior patrol leader, working directly with the scoutmaster in leading the troop, as well as scribe, troop guide and patrol leader. She learned outdoor skills of camping, backpacking and emergency preparedness and made friendships that will last a lifetime.
For her Eagle Scout project, Lambert led a group in making more than 70 hand-sewn double-layered face masks for the New Bridge Foundation, a nonprofit addiction treatment facility located in Berkeley.
She is also co-founder of “Bears That Care,” which collects and donates thousands of toys each year to the Alameda County Court Services for children who come to the courthouse for custody hearings. The idea came from her mom, Kerry Lambert, who works as a Child Protective Services court officer; her co-founder is her brother Colin, who was a Walnut Grove Elementary School student at the time, while Taryn was at Harvest Park Middle School.
Lambert’s other interests include mountain biking, skiing, reading and cooking. She plans to attend a community college and transfer to a four-year college, majoring in psychology or political science.
Lambert is the daughter of Kerry and Ed Lambert of Pleasanton. Due to COVID-19, the date of her official Eagle Court of honor will be determined later when gatherings are permitted.
