Scouting

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…

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,…

I’ve lived in Junction City my whole life and my journey started when I was eight years old after my parents divorced. Since there was only one parent to carry the burden of taking care of me and my sister, I became more independent because I felt that I needed to help my Mom with household chores and meal preparations. She appreciated my contributions as it helped take the extra burden off of her and made her less stressed. In fourth grade, my friend Lacey asked me if I wanted to attend a…

Heever and the Camping Trip of Troop 129 There once was a boy. His name was Heever, a boy scout that was around 10 and very close to 11. His troop 129 was going on a camping trip. He was very excited for the camping trip. However, Heever was a very clumsy boy. All the troop said that he shouldn’t go to the trip because he always brakes stuff. He is very scared of sharp objects, so he couldn’t help half of the time. Heever ignored his troop, but since he ignored them, that is where the trouble…

Being a teenager is said to be the best time of anyone’s life. Some people wish for their life to be 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…

By definition an Eagle Scout is a boy scout who has reached the highest level of attainment in the various tests of skill and endurance set by the boy scout organization. I want to get my Eagle Scout because it not only teaches boy scouts how to survive and do basic things such as cooking, making fires, first aid, etc. It also gives you an advantage in applying for jobs. When applying for a job you could have the same application as someone else but if they see that you have your Eagle Scout…

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…

My story begins at Onteora Scout Reservation in Upstate New York. The Boy Scouts of America have an honor society known as the Order of the Arrow, which is for Scouts who wish to dedicate themselves to an order that serves others more than that of the Boy Scouts. Scouts are selected through a troop-wide vote, and I was one of the few scouts selected to participate in the ordeal to join this order. The ordeal was a series of tests in order to confirm that we, the candidates, are fit to join…
