Scout Motto

The distribution of girl scout cookies has developed and changed over the years of production. At first, they started off in Oklahoma selling only one type of cookie in a specific area. Now, they are world wide and with more than 12 cookies with different recipes. As the world has been advancing, so has the distribution of girl scout cookies. Girl scout cookies have been a huge hit in America and known as America’s beloved cookies. First of all, girl scout cookies started in 1912. A lady named…

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…

Reflecting on our five days spent in Retezat, I cannot help but relish in almost every single experience since it was all so new to me. I had never gone on a hiking trip before, nor had I ever spent that much time in the wilderness being able to truly enjoy God’s creation. However, there were two moments that definitely stick out to me as I reflect on the journey: the first being our time at the summit of Peleaga and the second being the night that Paige, Janelle and I spent in the Salvamont…

known as Boy Scouts has been a massive influence for me and has developed me into the person I have become today. Going from when I was young and was learning how to build a fire, tie knots, or teaching me leadership skills, Scouting has refined me into a more confident and stronger person. It started in fifth grade when I joined Cub Scouts, I got involved with many campouts and learned many things. In less than a year, I earned my Arrow of Light, the highest rank a Cub Scout can earn.…

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…

isn’t always accepted in society. Boy Scouts of America vs. Dale continues to become a background case for the expressive association within the First Amendment for cases in the future. This specific case is about the Boy Scouts having a leader that is a gay right activist while also being a homosexual. James Dale became one of the highest honors such as “25 merit badges, was admitted into the prestigious Order of the Arrow, and was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout” (“Discrimination”). Soon…

I had never had to lead my own scout troop before. We were in the middle of nowhere, having just finished the first part of a long hike to our designated site. The rest of the senior scout volunteers had already left, off find a good place to settle down for the night, leaving me behind to watch the kids. Not until we were stranded did we realize we had wondered too far from the rest of the staff. The kids started to panic, one of the older kids from the group, came forth. “Where are we Mister,…

Do I Have To? My Introduction to the Boy Scouts I was your typical teenager. It was seventh grade year, your normal thirteen year old and unlike some of my classmates not very social. I would rather be on the couch (even to this day). One of those most positive experiences of my teenagers was joining the Boy Scouts. Peers and friends of mine, although, did not have a positive opinion about the Boy Scouts. Little did I know, my teenage years would be changed by this club. My mother had quite the…

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,…

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…
