Scout Law

stayed at a friends house for an extended period of time. I had friends in Cub Scouts but I never joined. But around the third grade, I decided I wanted to join the Cub Scouts. I started Cub Scouts during the fifth grade, so I only had one year as a Cub Scout until I would crossover into becoming a Boy Scout. During both my time in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, I met some of my closest friends. Throughout my time in Boy Scouts, I challenged myself to do things outside of my comfort zone and…

After becoming an Eagle Scout, I wanted to give back to the Scouting community. One outlet I discovered was to staff National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), a program designed to teach leadership to younger scouts. In this program, beginner staffers (TGs) are responsible for guiding small groups through the course. After serving on staff for two years, I was promoted to senior staff and had the opportunity to oversee the TGs and lead the whole camp. Last summer, when I again served on senior…

It took 5 months from concept to completion of my project to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. As I reflect on that experience, I recognize the life lessons that it taught me. I began by speaking with other Eagle scouts for their views on projects that would be impactful to the community. I decided to help the local animal shelter. Prior to writing my proposal, I met with the shelter 3 times to fully understand what they wanted from me. I then sought the inputs of my troop Chairman. With these…

fought and died for this country to protect our rights and keep our country free. As a boy scout at every meeting I recite the pledge of allegiance, the law and the scouts oath. The scout oath says on my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country to obey the scout law and to help other people at all times and keep myself physically strong morally awake. It is my duty as an American boy scout to live the…

words may not mean a thing to most people, but to people like me across the world it is a promise we made at a young age. Sir Baden Powel in England founded Boy Scouts. It was based on morals and militaristic order to teach children how to learn new skills and how to act with good morals. After it transferred to the United States the Boy Scouts of America mirrored its British counterpart. The traditions that drove the organization since the 1800’s continued into the United States. From a young…

The court’s decision compelling Phillips to create a cake for a same-sex couple infringes on his right to practice his religion how he sees fit. To Phillips, the cake is symbolic because it represents a sacred covenant made between man and women, as it traditionally has for years prior to establishment of same-sex marriage. However, there is a fine line between practicing your chosen religion and acting against opposing and popular beliefs. Phillips is not saying he is opposed to the rights…

Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the jury. We are here today to address the case of Alexandra Finch versus Atticus J. Finch. The plaintiff is seeking legal custody of Scout and Jem Finch, on the allegation that their father is a neglectful and absent guardian, therefore rendering him unfit to raise them. My client should continue to have legal custody of his children for he provides them with adequate care and useful life lessons. While my client provides for his children and teaches them…

Scout just came back from the Radley’s Place after realising the truth of Atticus’ words about having to be in someone else’s shoes to completely understand them. When she arrives back home, she goes to Atticus who reads to her the story of a man who is mistakenly accused of a crime he did not commit. Scout comments on how the boy “was really nice” (Lee 376) and Atticus responds with the quote mentioned…

gun around’s an invitation to somebody to shoot you,” (Lee, 1960, p.249). Bob Ewell has a knife with him when he tries to kill Jem and Scout, and therefore, he gets stabbed. Lastly, what good would it have done to convict Boo of murder, especially when he saves two lives? Leaving Boo out of the town’s judgement is thank you enough to Boo for saving Jem and Scout. By convicting Boo of murder, it would be an action of ungratefulness to a man who saves two…

stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution ... is a court of law. A story told through the eyes of Scout Finch, you learn about her father Atticus Finch, an attorney who hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape; and about Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbor who saves Scout and her brother Jem from being killed. Authorities say some student spectators at a predominantly white school in…
