Scouting for Boys

There is No Such Thing As A Bad Boy “He was everything your mother warned you about when she told you not to walk alone in the dark.” Nenia Campbell wrote in her book Armed and Dangerous. The idea of the allusive bad boy with a heart of gold has riveted girls and women for centuries. The entertainment business has played on this since there was one. From the writers in the earliest form, love stories were filled with men who appeared bad but only revealed to his glorious heart to his heroine.…

The Lost Canto 1 Then, in the midst of rejoice and celebration, One boy, recalled to himself Moments when he glimpsed the malicious monster’s menacing acts nights ago: “When I went to sleep beside my mother, the moon gleamed greatly 5 Through the open window. The breeze bellowed, blowing onto my face, but then, It was all dark, the light disappeared, the wind blocked, beating my eyes open. And right outside my safe-keeping house, stood a loathsome beast, Blood…

Growing up a Female Growing up the first big difference I remember making between males and females was the way they got to act. I was always a tomboy wanting to play with the boys, dress in basketball shorts, and play sports at recess. But it was not always seen as ok, I remember girls laughing at me for what I wore and boys telling me I couldn’t do things with them because I was a girl. This definitely affected me as a child growing up, feeling like I had to be one kind of thing and fit into…

should girls and boys be on the same sports team? Why I think boys and girls should play on the same sports team? think that boys and girls should play on the same sports team. I think that it would give a variety of different kinds of sports players on the same team no matter what gender they are.Just because girls aren’t as strong as boys are ,or as fast as they are they can still do the same thing even if they are different.Girls can do the same thing boys can do!…

Boy Scouts have been around for 108 years but they are planning to make the program more inclusive by letting girls into the program. Thus, creating a new name for the original organization. The conversation of changing the name causes a lot of controversy throughout the nation. 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…

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…

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,…

with Morgan is not common for a mother and her son. She treats him like a mere object and considers him to be worthless as he “fetch[es] her fan”. Readers can also infer that Mrs. Moreen speaks harshly of him because Pemberton is able to note that a “boy of eleven shouldn’t catch” the things she says. Nevertheless, she still has the caring heart of a parent and the reader can assume that she chose Pemberton because he was the most intelligent and wants the finest tutor for son, who must be…

felt it was necessary. I believe that it is so important that you as the worker need to write everything down when dealing with clients. For instance when Marc made that phone call to the little boy Sean if his file didn’t mention how much of a 911 it was he wouldn’t have taken the phone call when the little boy called back. You have to be a strong person in order to deal with children and families that have some type of abuse going on. It would make it hard for me not to blame the parents for…

might like the same things as boys or girls. When I was growing up I would always play with my sisters and their friends. I think my favorite part playing with them was the dolls. Being Ken was fun because back then being “white” was the norm. When I was growing up I had long hair, to the point where my only grandfather confused me for a girl. My gender identity was male. “Gender identity is a sense of oneself as male or female.” (Wade 355) I was classified as a boy even though on the outside I…
