I believe in Scouting. Not just Boy Scouts, because that would take away the credit from the hundreds of thousands of scouting organizations that are out there like Girls Scouts, but just scouting and the ideals that are upheld by scouting at its finest. As a scout, you swear or promise to adhere to a strict moral and ethical code. A Boy Scout swears to live by the Boy Scout Oath and Law. By swearing to live by this, a Boy Scout promises to try their best to help other people, respect authority, be trustworthy, friendly, courteous, obedient, brave, and reverent along with many other useful life lessons. One thing I know that was not included in the promise that I learned anyway was patience. Imagine a group of boys aged 8 to 11 having to cook
One major controversy in effect today is whether girls should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America or should there be a distinct separation between the girls and boys. In the article, “Boy Scouts Face Renewed Push to Let Girls Join the Ranks” by David Crary, several girls across the nation have took it upon themselves to try and join the Boy Scouts of America. Some believe that girls should be able to join in order to gain the same scouting experience as the boys in the organization. Others including myself, believe that if the girl scouts aren’t happy with their scouting, they should take the initiative to make a difference in their own community.
As a family man myself, I plan to be very involved in the life of my children and the entire family. Raised in a Christian household, I plan on raising no different than that mind set. Starting in scouts as a Tiger Cub, and developing my scouting career, I plan to stay active and close with the program. I do believe that this is an amazing program that offers many beneficial and necessary life skills. Scouting has set me up for nothing but success and has taught me many life lessons and very useful practices. Responsibility, leadership and organization are the things I have learned most through scouting. These three traits will be carried throughout my life as I plan to seek my ambitions and dreams through the navy and be helpful whenever they are needed most. Scouting has nurtured and raised me to be a fitting and vigorous citizen, friend, fellow scouter as I am the next generation for this nation as it is something bigger than I
I grew up in a home where my parents taught us to serve our country, community and those around us. They taught me through example, my father was a scout leader when I was a child. He often took me camping and to merit badge Pow Wow’s. As a boy I began to dream about becoming a boy scout. When I became old enough I joined the cub scouts. While in Cub scouts I learned about being part of the pack, about working together to accomplish large projects, to work together to accomplish a larger goal. Then when I was older I was able to join the boy scouts they taught me about being a citizen in the community, about being a good neighbor. They taught me about doing a good turn daily, and being prepared. When I was 13, I became a life scout. Being a life scout is not anything special, other than I was able to start working on my eagle project.
As a member of the Boy Scouts of America in Troop 181 I have established myself as a young leader and well rounded individual. I have been a part of countless service projects with my fellow Scouts since I was in first grade. Sticking with Scouting has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I climbed through the ranks and attained my Eagle Scout award when I was sixteen. The Eagle Scout service project I completed along side the multiple other volunteering excursions I have been a part of have taught me several core values that will cling tightly to me from here on. These service projects have given me a fantastic outlook on life. My Troop often visits with the local nursing home to carol, plant vegetables in their garden, decorate,
Boy Scouts of America: I have been involved with the scouting program since I was six years old, and continue to be actively involved. I currently working to the rank of Eagle Scout. I am currently the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL) of my troop, which includes running the weekly meetings, sending and creating the weekly agenda, updating our Troop website, and help plan Troop outings. On average I spend roughly 5 hours a week with doing activities that are involved with Boy Scouts.
The Scout Association is part of a worldwide educational youth movement. The values, which underpin and inspire its work are embodied in the Scout Promise and Law and in the Purpose of the Association. Within this framework, the Association is committed to equality of
All across America, young men join together in a special organization called the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts from 1st grade to seniors in high school work toward a common goal: growing up into a functional, mature citizen and leader of the United States. I joined this great organization in 2006 as a Wolf Cub Scout and rose through the ranks to get into Boy Scouts in 2010. I didn’t know what to expect from such a widely popular, military-like group. Will I get pushed to my limit? How much can Scouts impact me? Is Cub Scouts like what others say?
In the world that we live in today, social justice plays a huge role in the decisions, laws, and actions that people, and the government make. I think it is time to ask ourselves, have we gone too far? We are all familiar with the Boy Scouts of America. They're a wonderful organization that help boys turn into capable men. The Boy Scouts have a law; A scout is "Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent." In other words, a Scout a good citizen, plain and simple. On May 3rd, 2018 the Boy Scouts of America made the announcement that girls will be welcomed into their boy scout program next February. The name, to appeal more to both genders will be changed to Scouts BSA. The girl
When I was seven years old, I remember seeing boys from the school 's Cub Scouts program walking through the hallway. Dawned in dark blue uniforms, with orange neckties, and many colorful badges, these scouts stunned me by the unity and patriotic spirit that they showed. That evening, I went home from school and ran to the kitchen table where my father was sitting. I explained to him that I wanted to join scouting. He smiled at me and quickly took me to the local Boy Scouts headquarters, where I was signed up for a "pack" as it was called.
Scouting helps kids stay out of trouble and on the right path in life by providing youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards through following the Scout Oath and Law.
One would be un-American if they believe in not allowing homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts of America. Effectively on 1 January 2014 ends a one hundred year old ban on allowing openly homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts of America, which is causing a lot of ruckus within the Boy Scout community. That being the case, some of the older generation Boy Scouts are resigning from the scouts and others are accepting the newer generation with open arms. Since, society is changing and accepting the homosexual race, so should the Boy Scouts of America, basing it on the separation of church and state, it’s racist and equal rights.
When my grandfather earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1933, he unknowingly began what would become a family tradition that has helped mold my personal perspective today. He ignited a passion for Boy Scouts within my family, which continued through my father, and was fulfilled by me when I earned the Rank of Eagle in 2014. Scouting formed me into the person I am today more so than any other activity I have ever been involved with, reinforcing my family’s emphasis on leadership, service, and work ethic.
A valuable failure does not come with expectations. Nor does it come with pride or achievement. I myself witnessed my valuable failure in Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts requires a set of requirements and ‘reviews’ in order to climb the ranks. My valuable failure lay upon my Star rank.
The Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA are both nonprofit organizations that can be the most wonderful experiences in one’s life. Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout can help the youth develop maturity and character, as they grow with age and enter adulthood. Through the process of volunteering and showing leadership skills, Boy Scouts of America and Girls Scouts of the USA are both life-changing organizations. One involved in any of the two organizations will create unity throughout their community and uphold a legacy. While the youth involved in one of the two organizations earn achievements and countless awards, scouting can be utilized to create an exceptional college admission resume. Although the Girls Scouts of the
Let's go back to 2012, my freshman year. I was a typical teenage girl except there was something different about me, I was a Boy Scout. Not only was I a Boy Scout but I was the Vice President of Administration for my Crew. You're probably thinking to yourself how the heck did I get myself into that, you're probably wondering what made me so special to not only be in the Boy Scouts but to hold such an important position. Well I found out about the Venture Crew through my cousin and school, my cousin was in the crew and when I was a freshman she was diagnosed with cancer. When she shaved her head to beat the cancer the boys were so supportive and there for her that they shaved their heads as well, I knew I had to be apart of this. So I joined. I was very quite at the first meeting,
