What does leadership look like when there is no perfect playbook?

That was one of the questions at the center of Heather Penney's conversation with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council, Scouting America on April 28, 2026.

Drawing from her experiences in the military and public service, Heather shared lessons on preparation, accountability, teamwork, and making difficult decisions when the path forward is unclear. Her story is a reminder that leadership is often less about certainty and more about character - showing up, staying focused on the mission, and earning the trust of those around you.

For an audience dedicated to developing future leaders, her message resonated far beyond a single moment or profession. The principles she discussed, service, resilience, and responsibility, are as relevant in everyday life as they are in extraordinary circumstances.

Thank you to the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council Scouting America for bringing together a meaningful conversation on leadership and service.

5 things you didn’t know about Al Joyner

1. He made history on the same day as his sister. On August 4, 1984, Al and his younger sister, Jackie Joyner-Kersee both won Olympic medals, making them the first brother and sister to achieve that feat at the same Games. One family, One afternoon. Two spots on the podium.
2. He broke an 80 year drought. His triple jump of 17.26 meters at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics earned him gold and made him the first American to win the event in 80 years.
3. He coached the fastest woman in history. Most people know Flo-Jo. Fewer know that Al was her coach when she became the first American woman sprinter to win four Olympic medals in a single Games, setting world records in the 100m and 200m at the 1988 Seoul Olympics - records that still stand today.
4. He helped build a dynasty at UCLA. After his competitive career, Al helped lead UCLA to its first-ever NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship and has mentored countless state champions and Paralympic stars.
5. He lives by a mantra that stops room cold. “Chumps complain. CHAMPIONS TRAIN. And you NEVER FAIL until you STOP TRYING.” That’s a life lived at the Olympic level, and what he brings to every stage he steps on.

Honoring a true American hero!

Heather “Lucky” Penney has been awarded the Military Hero Award by the PenFed Foundation for Military Heroes - and no one has earned it more.

One of the U.S. Air Force’s first female fighter pilots, Heather made history on 9/11 when she was scrambled in an unarmed jet, prepared to intercept Flight 93 and sacrifice her life to protect the nation’s capital.

Today, she continues to serve, leading research and advocacy for airpower and spacepower at The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies and hosting the Aerospace Advantage podcast.

“It’s crucial that we keep all these stories alive - not just to honor those whose legacy we inherit, but so that we can inspire the generations who will follow us.”

Congratulations, Heather. You are the definition of duty, courage, and selfless service.

In honor of Women’s History Month, it’s only fitting that we celebrate the power of women telling women’s stories. We are continuing our spotlight on filmmaker Rita Coburn by showcasing her documentary on global treasure Dr. Maya Angelou.

In Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise, Coburn delivers the first-ever feature documentary on the life of this literary legend. By weaving together a narrative that spans from a childhood in the Jim Crow South to the inauguration of a President, Coburn captures the unstoppable spirit of a woman who defined an era.

This month, we honor both the woman in front of the lens and the visionary behind it, two trailblazers who have empowered generations through the art of storytelling.
