Eagle Scout

My journey to Eagle Scout An event that marks my transition from childhood to adulthood is going through Scouting. This was a major event that made a huge impact on who I am today this made me mature, responsible and so much more. What was the final stage of my journey to adulthood was getting my Eagle. This shows me the whole transition from childhood to adulthood. Going through Scouting has been a huge event in my life for several reasons, one being that I would always be learning how to…

The Eagle Scout award is a special distinction that is granted to 2% of all scouts, who in turn make up 3% of all minors. I am proud to say that I am one of those scouts. This award is the culmination of all the experience I attained within the Scouting program. This manifested itself in a wealth of leadership skill that has changed me in various ways. It has taught me to be organized, shown me how to learn, and has motivated me to take on difficult challenges. Most of all, it helped me prove…

Is Everyone the Same? Narrative When I was 13 years old I went to a Boy Scout event with thousands of Scouts, that was 15 days long called National Jamboree, which was held out in West Virginia. It wasn’t going to be like any other normal scout trip I’ve been on where it’s just my friends and I that go on a weekend campout. This was going to be a fun and a very adventurous trip with people from all over the world in which I had no clue what I was going to expect. I’ve never been around other…

I'm proud to be an Eagle Scout. Anyone who knows me knows that. Being a Boy Scout had a huge impact on my life growing up and contributed to the person I am today. Looking back over the course of twelve years to when I first bridged over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts I was a very different person. I was fairly timid and generally unsure of myself. Scouting changed that. It provided me an outlet where my ideas were valued and I was allowed to make mistakes. I did not succeed necessarily at…

Remembering an Event I have been in scouts almost my whole life. I have even achieved the highest rank in boy scouts which is known as Eagle Scout. When I was trying to become an Eagle Scout I had to do many things, but one of the many was a project. The project I had picked was meant to help others in the community. When I had to pick a project I had to keep a few things in mind like who do I do it for and what will it be. After thinking I realized I wanted to do something for the Lynchburg…

attend this summer. The choices were Boy Scout camp with my scout troop, or the CIT program at Camp Ockanickon. This was an excruciating decision, because I had a tremendous desire to attend both of these summer camps. But the weeks that they are in the summer overlap. This was an immense problem for the reason that they both offer things that are needed to help me later in life. The scout camp offers merit badges that I still need to become an Eagle Scout. Furthermore the CIT program would help…

Congratulations on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout! You may not realize it now, but you will learn that this is an accomplishment of lasting value. Indeed, I am now over the age of 50, when I reflect back, I see that being an Eagle Scout is one of the few things from my youth that continues to benefit me today – and at first glance I must admit that this seems rather strange. However, upon deeper reflection I think that I understand why this is so, and I think you will too. You see, while…

of leadership experience in Scouting, “getting my hands dirty” isn’t always a metaphor. Although I knew that designing and engineering an irrigation system for my church’s community garden would be no simple task, I was determined to make it my Eagle Scout project. It took over 500 screws to construct the water storage barrel platforms, two coats of watertight sealant to guard against rain damage, and 200 pounds of concrete to secure the posts; but…

Perseverance helped me complete my Eagle Scout project. Because I was able to persevere, I continued to overcome the many challenges of planning and executing a large project. I ran into many obstacles on the way to completing my Eagle Scout project, and at times I felt that I would not be able to continue, much less finish. I was just a 17-year-old boy with no previous experience in a position with real responsibility. For the first time in my life I was met with the uncomfortable uncertainty…

As I received the final approval for my project required to become an Eagle Scout, I knew I was undertaking a task that would be much greater than anything I’ve completed in the past. This would be the pinnacle of my scouting career. One can find Gleason Cemetery burrowed in a little alcove on the side of a brush lined road near Molalla, Oregon. Seldom visited, the families of those buried are either deceased or don’t care enough to pay any respects to their late ancestors. My father gave me the…
