Scout Motto

to accomplishing a goal, I will be proactive and put in my maximum amount effort to complete the task the best I can. An example of an outsider school curriculum that shows initiative is being a Boy Scout. I am a First Class rank and working on becoming a Star Scout and an Eagle Scout. Due to Scouts, I can now start a fire in the middle of the woods in the dark. Every Tuesday night from 7.30-9pm, we learn various skills such as first aid which could help others if they are ever in a dangerous…

“Is anybody not ready? Hike On.” I exclaimed countless times on my twelve day trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. My much older brother had ventured to Philmont with our dad fifteen years before my trip, so as you can imagine, I grew up hearing stories of the 137,000 acre paradise perched within the Sangre de Cristo mountains in New Mexico. Philmont is a twelve day strenuous backpacking experience and not for the faint of heart. Luckily for me, I was eligible at fourteen and my dad was healthy and…

One accomplishment that sparked a period of growth and new understanding of myself was when I became a star scout in Boy Scouts. Before this time, I was not very motivated to becoming an Eagle Scout because only one percent of scouts become the pristijuce rank of Eagle Scout. Then one of my leaders came up to me and asked if I was planning on putting in the work it took to be an Eagle. I told him I did not know because I knew all the hard work and how I would have to persevere. In response, he…

The Boy Scout organization made their ultimate decision which was changing the name from Boy Scouts to Boy Scouts B.S.A in March of 2018. Having young girls and boys become equal in these programs caused a lot of…

“Okay, so, who wants to try to go to the summit tonight?” James took a glance around. He was holding the fire stick that had been at the campsite since last summer, his tall, lean figure tilting forward into it. His pale skin gleamed with sweat from building the fire as his eyes took in all the raised hands from beneath his darkened glasses—the pair my best friend Phoebe and I always made fun of him for looking so geeky in—which he denied were actually Transitions. James and I had become fast…

February of 2010, after graduating from cub scouts, I joined The Boy Scouts of America. I started out as a timid young boy, who did not have many skills, but throughout the many years, it had a major impact on my life and taught me many things about myself. Boy Scouts truly impacted my life. One way scouting has impacted me is by teaching me morals and values. In Boy Scouts there is a “Scout’s Law,” which details the morals and values that a scout must live by. Scouting has also impacted me…
