They teach young men the way the Native Americans would do things in old manners. What I mean by that is they teach you to survive without using technology. You start a fire with leaves and sticks, you cut would with an ax, you fish with just a stick and some string and worms you find in the ground. You camp in tents, with no electricity. You cook on open fires and you are taught that if you take water and boil it then you are able to drink it. They teach you how to use the land to survive. The Native Americans also would follow animals in order to survive. Birds made good alarms for something that might be coming. As a Boy Scout you learn what the different kinds of birds there are and how they act. Not all of the Boy Scout culture is based of Native Americans, though a heavy portion of it is, there are some European and American culture as well.

    When I initially began Boy Scouts, I largely depended on my brother and his friends for help and assistance. Eventually, my brother and his friends around his age graduated, and while many moved on to serve as adult leaders, all of them eventually left for college. With this large amount of support missing from my usual routine, I felt lost for a significant amount of time, before I participated in a Philmont trek in the summer before my freshman year of high school. During the Philmont trek, as the youngest member of the crew, I felt highly unprepared due to my overall lack of experience with high adventure and large amounts of leadership; however, despite developing a blister on the first day, I found solace with my crew as they taught me valuable skills that would help me survive the journey. From their exemplary leadership and teachings, I quickly learned not only how to help myself, but also how to assist and guide others as a leader.…

    If George Washington and Robert E. Lee were young men today, they would be Boy Scouts and enthusiastic supporters of Scouting, as I am. In fact, in his Sept. 1796 letter to Alexander Hamilton, George Washington himself promoted youth assemblies and behavior strikingly similar to Boy Scout camporees that would take place 125 years in the future: “…but that which would render it of the highest importance, in my opinion, is that at the juvenile period of life, when friendships are formed and habits established that stick by one, young men from different parts of the United States would be assembled together, and would by degrees discover that there was not that cause for those jealousies and prejudices which one part of the Union had imbibed against another.” In my literature class recently, we were discussing how a nation moves from savagery to civilization.…
