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…

I am attracted to the Boy Scout program by the campouts, service projects, helping Cub Scouts, and the normal fun things Boy Scouts do. I began Cub Scouts and that helped me get a feel for what Boy Scouts is. I did all the ranks from Tiger to Weblo 2, although I did not create an Arrow Of Light when I crossed over to Boy Scout. I joined Boy Souts and thought it would be "lame", but that was the total opposite of what I thought, that also attracted me to Boy Scouts because I learned what you do…

Tye River Elementary School is located in Nelson County, Virginia. It is a public elementary school serving children from the grades of preschool through fifth grade. It is conveniently located off of route 29, but it is also placed far enough away from the road that it does not pose as a distraction or threat to the children attending the school. Both the inside and outside architecture is eye pleasing, giving the sense of friendliness to visitors. Overall Tye River Elementary school has…

day was the crowning point of my scouting career. I remember standing in the lobby of the local scout office, with my parents and scoutmaster nervously waiting for my name to be called. Attempting to calm myself by talking and laughing with everyone, to not show my nerves, my name was finally called. This was it; there was no turning back now. As my scoutmaster walked me back, I remember repeating the Scout Oath and Law over and over again in my head. I did not want to mess up these fundamental…

actually find a tombstone every mile. This is definitely creepy, especially if you want to go ahead and investigate the region. If you want to stay safe and you dislike creepy stuff like this, it’s a good idea to just stay away from the region! 5. Boy Scout Lane in Stevens Point,…

Leader of the Oak Grove Boy Scout Troop 266. The objective of the Boy Scouts of America, as an organization, is to develop the future leaders of the United States through an inexpensive, boy-lead program, available to all boys in the United states, under the age of eighteen. When coming up through the ranks of Boy Scouts, a young man will receive leadership and guidance from his more seasoned scouters. After gaining the valuable lessons offered by the curriculum in the Boy Scout handbook, a…

years beforehand. I began scouts in 1st grade, and since the beginning I set my goal to achieve the highest rank in scouting, the eagle scout award. This rank is the most difficult to achieve, but also the most respected in the scouting program. Becoming an eagle scout is a true symbol of a boy finally growing into a man. Before a scout can even start on this great task, they must obtain all of the other ranks before it. During this time of rank advancement the scout is required to earn a…

that mirrors what a definition of folklore could look like is the adult Girl Scout “troop” that meets weekly in Bowling Green Kentucky. The group is made up of 12 members who were former Girl Scouts but paid their membership fee to become lifelong Girl Scout Members. I had the pleasure of interviewing the woman who created the group and has kept it going for several years. Her name is Elizabeth Brown and she was in Girl Scouts for 15 years. While interviewing Ms. Brown I observed how the group…

I feel that working as a member of the staff at a Boy Scout camp is one of the most life changing experiences I have ever had. It taught me the value of hard work, time management, how to work with others, and how to handle large amounts of stress. The most important thing; however, is the relationships that I have built with my fellow staff members. I started work at Camp Rainey Mountain as soon as could the summer of twenty twelve as a counselor in training, or CIT, and I fell in love with it…

Every week thousands of Boy Scouts across America vow to keep themselves “morally straight” as they recite the final line of the Boy Scout Oath: “[I promise] to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” Unfortunately, many of the Boy Scouts of America’s critics claim Scouting has lost its moral standard. When the Boy Scout National Council decided to remove its ban on homosexual boys and adults, Christians began to ponder the ethics of supporting Scouting. While some…
