Dawn, when rainwater splattered across the bumpy sidewalk, as yellow rain boots splashed into the puddles by perpetually energetic children. It was merely the crack of dawn as a rainbow formed in the faded crimson sky from the storm the night before. Clusters of parents held onto their children's hands as they rushed across the …show more content…
“There’s no point in laughing in conversations that aren't funny.” The little girl replied bluntly. The troop leader baffled on her silence, gave the little girl a badge. Confused on her accomplishment, the little girl remained silent and continued on with her day. During snack time, a table was set at the front entrance. Troop leaders organized the badges; preparing them for the rest of the year. Many little girls looked over their shoulders debating which badge looked the prettiest as Charlotte continued to guzzle down her Cool-Aid. The end of the day approached as parents waited by the door for their children. Each parent received a schedule informing them on what badges they should expect to sew on, on what days, while the girls prepared their bags to go home. Consecutive in the day, Charlotte’s parents called her down to the main floor with a slipper in hand. “How did you get this badge?” her father questioned in a sharp tone, holding up the badge she’d received earlier on in the day. “I dunno.” the little girl responded, unaware of the situation. “The schedule doesn't have any badges for today…” the father asserted. “Did you steal it from the table?” he

A Brownfield is a property that has dangerous chemicals, pollutants, and contaminants present and could jeopardize use the land later on. There are more than 450,000 brownfields in the U.S. Brownfields are abandoned, or closed industrial or commercial facilities. A brownfield could be a closed, or abandoned gas station because a gas station produce high levels of underground contamination when the gas stations were being used. A vacant lot could be a brown field because it may be a site for illegal dumping. One of the main issues of redeveloping a brownfield is the costs for contaminated sites is a lot of money to redevelop, and brownfields and can scare away developers from buying the land and redeveloping the land brownfield and turn it into something else that is better for the environment. Reinvesting in brownfields will increase local tax bases, facilities job growth, makes existing infrastructure useful, takes development pressures off of undeveloped and open land, and also protects and improves the environment around us.

For the past 107 years, boys have only been allowed to be a “Boy Scout.” After many years of requests from girls and their families, the tradition has been broken. This is very important because though the 1920s saw a great deal of change for women, in 2017 they are still not fully supported and respected. The Girl Scout Organization has an issue with this newfound decision because they fear they will lose members to the Boy Scouts. Traditionalist parents also have an issue with this because they think that the two groups should stay separate due to the different ideologies the two groups focus on.

She was raised differently from the other young girls in Maycomb. While other girls are dressed up in dresses, stocking, and flats, Scout does not give in to dressing as other girls in her community. She is notorious for being dressed as a tomboy, wearing overalls and sneakers, and playing with her brother and their friend, Dill. Scout does not perceive social accountability and manners. However, she is known to defend any individual who she believes deserves to be defended because of disrespectful comments about the color of their skin.

The Girl Scouts started in 1912 with only a small number of girls. Juliette Low, the founder, was inspired to create the Girl Scouts after she went to a party in 1912. At this party, she met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, and wanted to create a similar program of the opposite gender. In present time, there are now millions of participating girls in this organization. Starting at the age of 5, a girl can enlist to become a Girl Scout and partake in the activities that range from hiking to camping to selling cookies. The starting rank is Daisy which is grades Kindergarten to first grade. The top and final rank is Ambassador which is grades eleven to twelve. This program is a success because it has created women of high status after they left, does not discriminate against others when recruiting, but it has also lost the initial perspective from when it was originally created.

The handbook has six parts: Summary, Camping, Home Life, Hospital Work, Patriotism and Organization. (Hoxie, 1972) There are very interesting paragraphs on a variety of topics like “Open-Air Pursuits” or “Housewifery.” When reading the handbook, it is best to remember when the handbook was written and for whom. There is more content in the handbook that is sustainable today than unrealistic. The opening forward from Mrs. Gordon Low “If character training and learning citizenship are necessary for boys, how much more important it is that these principles should be instilled into the minds of girls who are destined to be the mothers and guides of the next generation. …. Honor, duty, loyalty, kindness, comradeship, purity, cheerfulness, and thrift, are the qualities it seeks to develop. To be a Girl Scout, a girl should love and admire these things in other people, seek to attain them herself, and promote them among her comrades, no in any priggish fashion, but through being loyal, honorable, kind and helpful, in the home, in the school, in the field, on the playground, and in the Club Room.” (Hoxie, 1972, p. vii) Mrs. Gordon Low desire to bring girls together to be helpful to each other and their country in an environment that would promote goodwill. In a time when equality was still in debate and segregation was abundant, Mrs. Gordon ask her Captains (today known as Troop Leaders) “Hate nothing but sin.” (Hoxie, 1972, p. 2) Today the Girl Scout have taken the same vision and promoted it with The Three Keys to Leadership though various journeys experiences.
