Cub Scouting

I’ve lived in Junction City my whole life and my journey started when I was eight years old after my parents divorced. Since there was only one parent to carry the burden of taking care of me and my sister, I became more independent because I felt that I needed to help my Mom with household chores and meal preparations. She appreciated my contributions as it helped take the extra burden off of her and made her less stressed. In fourth grade, my friend Lacey asked me if I wanted to attend a…

My dedication to objectives I find important has allowed me to overcome obstacles that appear insurmountable but quickly become achievable through constant effort and believing in myself. When I first joined scouting at the age of thirteen to a small unestablished troop I had major doubts I would reach Eagle Scout. The majority of scouts start out at age eleven, so I was already behind, and my troop had never had anybody achieve the rank of Eagle. After working…

actually be a contributing member of society. The Boy Scouts of America have immensely prepared myself for becoming a physician. Though I have served many leadership roles inside of scouting, it is not the ability to lead in life that will help me to achieve my goals. It is the moral and ethical principles in which Scouting has instilled in me. Before every weekly meeting we repeat the Scout Law and the Scout Oath. The Scout Law is, “A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous,…

Heever and the Camping Trip of Troop 129 There once was a boy. His name was Heever, a boy scout that was around 10 and very close to 11. His troop 129 was going on a camping trip. He was very excited for the camping trip. However, Heever was a very clumsy boy. All the troop said that he shouldn’t go to the trip because he always brakes stuff. He is very scared of sharp objects, so he couldn’t help half of the time. Heever ignored his troop, but since he ignored them, that is where the trouble…

Theoretical Foundation As an organization the Girl Scouts of Western Washington are concerned about their diversity, because their organization is not incredibly diverse, they are not serving all of the populations that they could. Participation in the Girl Scouts can be life changing for some, for instance more women who are politicians, CEOs, congresswomen, astronauts, and other leaders in the US were scouts than who were not (Chávez, 2016). The Girl Scouts’ main goal is to empower, educated,…

Being a teenager is said to be the best time of anyone’s life. Some people wish for their life to be memorable and other make their life memorable. Six boys plan to make their own memories and not to wait for something to happen. Nick, Keith, Kurt, Joey, Charlie, and James aren’t only friends in school, but also in Boy Scouts. At the ripe age of sixteen, they all sign up for a canoeing trip to Upper Saranac Lake in New York. Boy Scouts has already created so many memorable moments for these…

Girl Scouts is a program and community for young girls. The Girl, in Girl Scouts, stands for Go-getter, Innovative, Risk-taker, Leader™. I believe in all of these things. I think this organization is a great opportunity for girls to become confident with themselves, learn to be kind and selfless and learn to be a leader. I have been a Girl Scout for a long time now, and am working on my silver award. I feel that all girls should have the ability to be a Girl Scout and learn how to make the world…

By definition an Eagle Scout is a boy scout who has reached the highest level of attainment in the various tests of skill and endurance set by the boy scout organization. I want to get my Eagle Scout because it not only teaches boy scouts how to survive and do basic things such as cooking, making fires, first aid, etc. It also gives you an advantage in applying for jobs. When applying for a job you could have the same application as someone else but if they see that you have your Eagle Scout…

I had never had to lead my own scout troop before. We were in the middle of nowhere, having just finished the first part of a long hike to our designated site. The rest of the senior scout volunteers had already left, off find a good place to settle down for the night, leaving me behind to watch the kids. Not until we were stranded did we realize we had wondered too far from the rest of the staff. The kids started to panic, one of the older kids from the group, came forth. “Where are we Mister,…

open house with the parent, and I was no different. The club tables, as always were set up in the cafeteria. We passed the Boy Scout table, and a friend of my mom’s was sitting at it. She had been trying to get me for years to join either the Boy or Cub Scouts. “Would you be interested in joining the Boy Scouts this year?” Kathy one of the assistant scoutmasters asked. My heart sank. Every year I went through this. She would ask, my mom would ask me, and I would say “No.” I almost joined once,…
