Riley Jarnac completed her Eagle Board of Review and will be honored at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor on September 20, 2025. Riley is the daughter of Dean and Megan Jarnac of Livermore, California.

She is a member of Troop 2942, sponsored by St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. Thanks go to her Scoutmaster, Lorraine Ferguson for her dedication to Scouting and help along the way.

Riley has been active in Scouting, and she is a founding member of the first all-girls Scouts BSA troop in Livermore. Throughout her time in the troop, she took on several leadership roles, including Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Troop Guide, and Outdoor Ethics Guide. These leadership experiences taught her responsibility, teamwork, and how to lead by example.

Riley’s loves all the different experiences she gets to enjoy with the troop, from camping each month, various hikes, volunteer opportunities and getting the chance to go on a high adventure camp in the Bahamas, called Sea Base, with her troop. (which was a weeklong sailing/snorkeling trip). She completed 29 merit badges which gave her an extensive learning opportunity in many different subject areas.

For her Eagle Scout project, Riley built two storage benches for Valley Humane Society in Pleasanton. The benches will reside in their Kitty City to welcome visitors. Riley worked with Sally Parsons, Program Specialist at Valley Humane, who wrote in her #Philanthropy Thursday post: “Thank you Riley, and congratulations on finishing your Eagle Scout Project!” Riley led thirteen scouts as well as eight adult leaders and parents who volunteered for her project. After planning and purchasing of materials, the building and painting took approximately 23 hours over four days. The total number of man-hours on the project was 223 hours.

Riley is a sophomore at Granada High School. Her interests include skiing, hiking and camping. She participated in Scouting’s National Youth Leadership Training, was inducted into the Order of the Arrow and is a ski racer with the Kirkwood Ski Team. Her life plans after completion of high school include attending college with a possible zoology major.
