Willow Woolhouse has picked up dozens of new skills over the last few years, and she has the badges to prove it.
Woolhouse, 10, lives in England, and she's part of Britain's Scout Association. She is the lone girl in her Cub Scout pack, and one of the only in the organization to ever earn every possible activity badge; the last person to complete the challenge was 10-year-old Rebecca Cooper in 2009. Woolhouse began her quest at age 5 when she was a Beaver Scout, and it took her three years to complete all 20 tasks. She earned 37 more as a Cub Scout, and has all 57 badges sewn onto her uniform. She has already decided that once she becomes a Scout this year, she'll earn all 62 of those badges.
