    Logan Scott

    2nd Lt. Logan Scott tried not to focus on the historic nature of her role as only the second woman to serve as Boar's Head Brigade commander for the University of North Georgia's (UNG) Corps of Cadets.

    "Regardless of gender, if you maintain or exceed the standard that a responsibility or a role has set, you have the potential for obtaining that position," Scott said.

    But Scott, the 2019-20 brigade commander, knew she could serve as an example for other female cadets who hope to reach a similar position.

    For her, strong performance was always been the name of the game. As a woman who was a junior in a position normally occupied by a male senior, Scott received some hesitancy from some of those in her charge — but only briefly.

    "They learned to trust me and my judgment and my decision-making," said Scott, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology with a health and fitness concentration in December 2020.

    Scott is a gold bar recruiter for the Georgia Army National Guard while she waits to attend her Basic Officer Leader Course.

    She had been a trend-setter on a regular basis. Scott was a training, advising and counseling officer for the Corps' Leadership Development Program (LDP) as a sophomore — a role usually held by seniors. She then received a grade of outstanding at Advanced Camp in summer 2018 as a sophomore.

    A Pembroke, Georgia, native, Scott embraced an approach that included guidance, then delegation.

    "The most important skill that I learned within the Corps of Cadets was to lead when it was your time to lead," Scott said.

    She was grateful for how the Corps helped her grow.

    "The Corps of Cadets significantly helped shape and develop my leadership style. It exposed me to many different situations that a typical college student would not encounter," Scott said. "And handling those situations, with guidance, prepared me for the future."

    Her experience in the Corps came while Scott was a member of the Georgia Army National Guard as a recipient of the UNG Military Scholarship. The state offers 42 of these scholarships each year to Georgia high school seniors to attend UNG and commission as officers in the Georgia Army National Guard upon completion of a bachelor's degree. The scholarship pays for room, meals, tuition, books, uniforms, and fees. They must be enlisted in the National Guard while in the Corps of Cadets.

    Through her experience with the Guard, Scott had the opportunity to shadow her platoon leader once a month and learn how the military works.
