Scout Law

an Eagle Scout and an active Assistant Scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America, what I believe to be the best leadership training program in the US. One serves in several leadership roles to earn this rank. To meet these requirements, I was an Instructor for two years and a Troop Guide for three. Instructors are in charge of groups of one to three Scouts for skills tutoring. The Troop Guide leads the instructors and teaches large group lessons to first years. We had over 25 new Scouts two of…

In the Wind Ensemble, I play the trombone. It is a very easy instrument to play because there are only seven slide positions to remember. The only problem I have with playing the trombone is how much space you need to play it. Every day, people get too close to the trombone players, so we have to ask them to move forward or deal with it. The people we ask will move will move most of the time, but if they don't, we trombone players always have slides to do the work for us.Marching band is…

Joining the Cub Scouts program in first grade put me on track to join the Boy Scouts of America, which at age eleven, I transitioned into, thus beginning my journey towards achieving the coveted pinnacle of the scouting program: Eagle Scout. Obtaining the Eagle rank is a long and difficult process, building within the scout strong traits of leadership, teamwork, and individual growth mindset, because progression is up to the scout. If it’s something they really want, then they will go after it…

Three weeks behind schedule, four months until Scout Camp, and five thirteen-year-old boys who can’t follow simple directions. The echoes of basketballs ricocheting off the walls and the stomping of barnyard feet filled the interior of the church. The Senior Patrol Leader, whose duty is to command the undisciplined, became a part of the pigsty. I decided I should do something if I ever wanted to earn my Eagle rank. Being a leader is comprised of three main characteristics: ambition,…

From my beginning as a Wolf Scout to my current promotion as an Eagle Scout, the Scouting program has always existed as a fundamental aspect of my life that has largely shaped my morals and personality. The picture above represents not only a culmination of the hard work that I have dedicated towards achieving a great honor, but also a large influence that has helped guide me through life. Through every campout, service project, fundraiser, and planning conference, Scouting constantly helped me…

As an Eagle Scout, I spent 10 years of my childhood life trying to get to the rank that I am. I joined the Boy Scout of America program in 2nd grade as a Wolf Scout. Throughout my year, I worked hard to become an Eagle Scout. Earning the Eagle Scout Rank is an impressive award that stays with you throughout your entire life. You learn a lot of things within the program; from the Scout Law to the Scout Oath, which teaches you how to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, kind, obedient, brave…

leader in my scout troop. At the time I was fourteen, and had little knowledge on how to properly lead other let alone experience with the responsibility…

It was many years ago that I found myself to be away from home the first time. I was a cub scout then and was super nervous. I was always super cautious and wary of dangers hiding behind the corner. I thought that something would jump out and scare me, or drag me to my doom. I felt more comfortable being at home versus being in the wilderness, where I felt exposed to the unknown and maybe the wrath of mother nature. Home made me feel safe, and in those days camping tended to make me uneasy due…
