Scout Promise

Girl Scouts has been an important part of my life since I can remember. Girl Scouts helped me to learn to be practical, independent, strong, and most importantly, a leader. Put simply, Girl Scouts has molded me into the extremely driven person I am today. So you can imagine the shock and dismay I felt when my troop disbanded earlier this year. Though we were all members of the highest level of Girl Scouts as a girl could be, I thought the troop would remain intact until I went to college. I…

Girl scouts When i was about 8, i'd been forced to join the girl scouts against my many misgivings to have something to do for the summer. I'm not much of a people person and i don’t like working in groups especially because i felt that the older girls were mean and the girls my age or younger were annoying. But i stayed for two years and it wasn't all bad on occasion we’d have fun and i didn't have to try too hard with cookies sales because my mother and grandma always took it upon themselves…

Juliette Gordon Low once stated this opinion on what Girl Scouts does for you. If you were to ask others what it means to them, you would probably get a very similar response. Girl Scouting has affected me and my family in a very direct way. I am so grateful for Girl Scouts and the person it has made me today. Throughout the thirteen years of being in Girl Scouts, I have learned how much the program means to me. If I was not a Girl Scout I would not have received all of the opportunities that…

Girl Scouts is a program and community for young girls. The Girl, in Girl Scouts, stands for Go-getter, Innovative, Risk-taker, Leader™. I believe in all of these things. I think this organization is a great opportunity for girls to become confident with themselves, learn to be kind and selfless and learn to be a leader. I have been a Girl Scout for a long time now, and am working on my silver award. I feel that all girls should have the ability to be a Girl Scout and learn how to make the world…

Theoretical Foundation As an organization the Girl Scouts of Western Washington are concerned about their diversity, because their organization is not incredibly diverse, they are not serving all of the populations that they could. Participation in the Girl Scouts can be life changing for some, for instance more women who are politicians, CEOs, congresswomen, astronauts, and other leaders in the US were scouts than who were not (Chávez, 2016). The Girl Scouts’ main goal is to empower, educated,…

The coming of age of Scout When we first starting reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee it seemed like Scout would be the one that would be coming of age. Throughout the book Lee was showing us little things that was coming of age Scout. My first quote is “You gonna take that back, boy?“You make me first!” he yelled. “My folks said your daddy was a disgrace an’ that nigger oughta hang from the water-tank!” “‘I drew a bead on him, remembered what Atticus had said, then dropped my fist and…

Harper Lee. A 40 year old lawyer, and father named Atticus Finch has a case to solve. Atticus has a little 8 year old girl named Scout Finch (main character), who has a very straight forward attitude. He also has a 13 year old son named Jem Finch, who is obsessed with football. And these two are being accompanied by a Black maid named Calpurnia, sadly their mother died when Scout was only 3. But Atticus made his living off of being a lawyer and raising his kids, he was assigned to defend a Black…

strongly dislike the way the teacher acted in the scene where she would not listen to Scout. That was really rude, and the teacher just kept rambling on even though she didn’t know the truth. This was the scene where Miss Caroline was talking to Walter Cunningham because he didn’t have a lunch. Since he didn’t have a lunch, Miss Caroline offered to give him a nickel as long as he brought one tomorrow to pay her back. Scout was sitting in the back trying to say that he wasn’t going to accept the…

For instance, Atticus tells Scout, “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win” (Lee, 101). Atticus’s comment that they are ‘licked’ may foreshadow that they lose the trial. However, the quote reveals that while racism may…
