Boy Scouts Accomplishments

Decent Essays
I’ve had many accomplishments in my life, some small and some big and they’ve all taught me more and more about me. Ever since I started boy scouts I’ve learned not only more about myself, but about other people in my life. Since I started Boy Scouts I’ve done so much community service just like Maria Gatta, I have helped fellow Boy Scouts with their Eagle Scout projects, I have helped with functions around the town and it's all because I want to not because i’m forced to .
It all started what I was in Fifth grade. A 10 year old boy who just got into Boy Scouts, going camping, doing fun activities and most important Community Service.

If life was every man for himself the world wouldn't be the way it is. Community service is a wonderful thing it's taking your time that you donate to helping out other. My Family has always helped out in the town of Oceanport, weather if it was a walk against cancer for the Courtney Rose Foundation or helping clean up around town. But no matter clean or dirty job someone has to do it so why not step up and help it's only going to benefit the town and or yourself. On October 22, 2012 a super storm named Sandy came through New Jersey and destroyed the Coast of New Jersey and that is where Oceanport is Located. I only wish that after the storm passed that i help out with the boy scouts around town and made food for the people who couldn’t. Unfortunately, I wasn't an actual Boy Scout yet I was still a cub scout and I didn't know what was going on.

    Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to help people. Being a Boy Scout gave me the opportunity to do so. When I was eight years old I joined the cub scouts which began my life long campaign of helping people. I started off learning to take the oath to serve the people weather it be by the organization or myself. I assisted by selling popcorn for charity organizations ( The San Antonio Food Bank and The Knights of Columbus) or for money that we needed for our camp out trips.…

I completed many hours through my high school and extracurricular activities such as three years of participating in Wisconsin Day of Service, four years caroling at nursing homes for Project Merry Christmas, and four years helping plan and work the Spencer FFA Easter Egg Hunt. In college, I worked as a server for the annual benefit dinners, volunteered as an escort for guests during the week long convention held on campus, and headed up and created the first ever Freed-Hardeman University Change War with the proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.…

    I have completed many hours of community service and I believe that it is my responsibility to involve myself in my community in any way possible. Getting involved in the community helps build a strong character and it teaches certain values that will benefit other communities. Speaking of community improvement, it is also my responsibility to pay any taxes set for me by our state and federal governments. Without taxpayer money, it would be impossible to maintain many of our most precious and crucial government funded organizations. If the American people allowed those organizations to fade away, we would be hurting our country and helping ourselves.…

    Many of the organizations that I am involved in, including FFA, 4-H, and LYO, take part in several service projects throughout the year. As a result, I have been involved in multiple community service activities over the course of my high school career, such as taking a week-long mission trip to Nashville, Tennessee this past summer, or just spending an evening during the holiday season Christmas caroling around town. Although some people aren't always willing to give up their time to help others, I believe that an essential aspect of being a member of a community is being willing and able to devote your time to helping others. It helps you develop positive relationships, and it lets the people you're helping know that there are places they can turn to for support. It helps you build up your responsibility, reliability, and work ethic, and it provides community members with a chance to establish lasting connections with one another.…

Though we were all members of the highest level of Girl Scouts as a girl could be, I thought the troop would remain intact until I went to college.…
