Why is It Beneficial to Provide Portable Sink Stations on Girl Scout Trips? Becoming a girl scout can help to prepare a young girl to become a well-rounded and functional adult. While girl scouts participate in a number of different activities, such as selling their famous cookies, one of the most celebrated functions are the periodic camping trips in which they spend several nights out in an open and natural environment. Although very little consideration is given to hygiene when discussing…

that can call themselves Eagle Scouts and achieve the most prestigious achievement of my life to date. As I looked around the room I was thinking about all that Boy Scouts had meant to me. I remembered learning how to shape a block of wood with a sander during my first attempt to make Pinewood Derby car. I remembered learning to cook, to pitch a tent, to hang a bear bag, to tie knots and so much more. I remembered taking on leadership roles and directing young scouts through the Canadian…

To everyone who has an opinion on Boy Scouts of America's decision on letting girls join the program, I thank you for your insight and respect everyone’s point of view. And while the facts are that BSA intends to start a program that will begin to integrate girls into BSA by having “Girls Only Troops”, it still does not change the core argument that BSA is changing the dynamic of Boy Scouts. This is the first step to the inevitable merger of male and female troops. While the troops, for now,…

There 's never been a time when I wanted to be anything but a doctor, more specifically a surgeon, and my life experiences have only strengthened my resolve to accomplish this. Having struggled with depression and anxiety, it led to psychiatric hospitalizations, medications, psychotherapy, and a residential treatment center, yet it formed my passions and purpose for Psychology and Neuroscience. With my conditions, it increasingly developed my desire to help and care for people, and I gladly…

For me, the best benefit has been the people I have met and the friends that I have made that will be my friends forever! But I have also learned a lot by being a Girl Scout and had the chance to do things that I would not have had the chance to do if I wasn’t a Girl Scout. We get to go camping, canoeing, and do cool things like archery. From cookie sales, we learn about businesses, selling and how to talk to people. We learn about setting goals, and budgeting. With…

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest youth organizations in the nation, having an astounding 2.4 million youth involved in its programs. Since 2007 I have been lucky to consider myself one of those members. Starting in third grade, I joined as a Bear Cub, in the Cub Scout program, and have made my way from there up to the highest rank in Boy Scouts, Eagle. When I started my journey I was a fairly quiet kid, reserved and not very good at controlling a group. The Boy Scouts program…

internship was interning at the Girl Scout Shop of Nassau County in Hicksville at 325 Duffy Ave. I enjoyed helping parents get what materials they need to start Girl Scouts and find the patches required to complete their uniform. When a customer come in we would ask if they need help or ask what they are looking for. Girls come in for a uniform, we size it for the girls and tell the parents what they need to put on the uniform patches they need to start girl scouts and the American Flag,…

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…
