Scouting for Boys

memorable and other make their life memorable. Six boys plan to make their own memories and not to wait for something to happen. Nick, Keith, Kurt, Joey, Charlie, and James aren’t only friends in school, but also in Boy Scouts. At the ripe age of sixteen, they all sign up for a canoeing trip to Upper Saranac Lake in New York. Boy Scouts has already created so many memorable moments for these friends, but they want another. Boy scouts haven't only given these boys a grand childhood but millions…

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…

“Scouting rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best,” 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…

had learned years ago that the tents were best used for supply storage, and so they slept outside under one of the campsites dining pavilions in the evenings. My friend and I joined them the third night of camp and as fell to sleep I heard the older boys laughing and whispering to each other. I thought nothing of it and went to sleep. I awoke the next morning to find my friend and his cot had disappeared. I found out later on that the older scouts had saran-wrapped my friend to his caught and…

with reliable statistics and information pertaining to my career. I have always been very passionate about wildlife and the environment. Even as a young boy, I was very active outdoors and longed to be associated with groups that helped sustain the environment. My family was very active in Scouts. I grew up through the ranks of Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Scouts taught me how to not only identify plants and animals, but how to enjoy the wilderness without leaving an impact on it. A passion grew…

There isn’t one word, phrase or term that can define folklore, but one group that mirrors what a definition of folklore could look like is the adult Girl Scout “troop” that meets weekly in Bowling Green Kentucky. The group is made up of 12 members who were former Girl Scouts but paid their membership fee to become lifelong Girl Scout Members. I had the pleasure of interviewing the woman who created the group and has kept it going for several years. Her name is Elizabeth Brown and she was in Girl…

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…

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…

Since the first grade, scouting inspired me to become the person that I am today. In 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…

week thousands of Boy Scouts across America vow to keep themselves “morally straight” as they recite the final line of the Boy Scout Oath: “[I promise] to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” Unfortunately, many of the Boy Scouts of America’s critics claim Scouting has lost its moral standard. When the Boy Scout National Council decided to remove its ban on homosexual boys and adults, Christians began to ponder the ethics of supporting Scouting. While some…
