Scouting

people in my life think all we do is tie knots and go camping. The Boy Scout program is what you make of it. Some people are in fact only there for the campouts and other outings that we plan and go on. Others, like me, see the greater benefits in the scouting program that a lot of people fail to notice. It’s hard to speak for other troops around the country and in the world, but lately in my home unit, I’ve been noticing a steady decline in the number of scouts in the troop. This is a problem…

teams weren’t that strong so it was easy to find weaknesses. I drew my diagrams and wrote my scouting report for each one. I enjoyed doing every one because I was writing about something I was passionate about. I showed up at the tournament and gave my coach the scouting report. He trusted my game plan, and we ended up winning all of our games that day. We were the better team in each match, but the scouting reports definitely helped us finish the games faster. We were able to really exploit…

minor offences, the most frequent—criminal—offences were theft of $5,000 and under, mischief, and common assault (Allen and Superle, 2014). Scouting is the solution to juvenile delinquency that will be studied in this essay. In a study funded by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), it was found that “three-fourths of youth who are or have been in scouting say Scouting teaches them to always be honest” (Harris Interactive,…

numbers, the Vanderbilt player has probably seen a handful of more top-notch pitchers. Sabermetrics help when scouting the Akron player to see if his numbers are able to be reproduced in the scout’s opinion. Scouting has changed an overwhelming amount in the past couple decades, but the idea and main principles of scouting are still the exact same. According to Stuart Shea and Gary Gillette, scouting…

I was lucky enough to interview Brad Ciolek the scouting administrator for the Baltimore Orioles. Brad and I had our discussion on the phone over fall break, which lasted about 30-40 minutes. Mr.Ciolek told me that after playing high school baseball, he decided that he enjoyed baseball so much that he wanted to attempt to make a career out of it. While discussing his professional life with me, I found out that Brad attained this position through interning with the Orioles in 2011; briefly…

It is with great pleasure to recommend Andrew Smith to your institution. Andrew is a student who is multi-talented, in academics, scouting and music. He is not one to just go through the motions or let life pass him by, but is focused on taking risks and getting the most out of life and is certainly making the most of his high school career. His zeal for living the American dream is one that Andrew focuses on bringing to life. He is a loyal and caring individual who takes pride in being an…

It is a culmination of the effort I expended from the time I was a tiger cub to the moment my mother pinned it on my breast. It’s my Eagle Scout medal, and it’s my greatest achievement. My most formative experience was the year I spent as senior patrol leader, and it was crucial to my achievement of this medal. I was a mere sophomore, who was tasked with turning around a declining troop, sometimes having to make some difficult decisions. This experience shaped me into the young man I am today…

that we can look back on for examples in the area. If we look at those prolific teams, and the leadership of the teams, we can discover just what it takes. Developing a great football team relies on powerful leadership, building a versatile team by scouting, a strong sense of integrity, and holding the team accountable for an intense scene of discipline. First, developing a great football team relies on powerful leadership.…

Weblos Scout learning from my leaders. Then I crossed over into Boy Scouts after earning the Arrow of Light Award. As a Boy Scout, and future Eagle Scout, I teach and inspire others to meet their goals and aspirations within the scouting program. The best definition of Scouting is found in the three points of the Boy Scout Oath, symbolized by the three fingers of the scout sign. Each point of this oath defines one of the fundamental duties of a Scout: Duty to God, and Country, Duty to Other…

but any meeting before 5:30 should be fine. If that works with the days you are planning with the den families, I look forward to being a Den chief again. I cannot tell you exactly what the Webelo scouts will experience due to the fact I joined boy scouting in year 2 of Webelos, however, I know that they will begin to learn the basic boy scout skills that will help them make the bridge from cub scouts to boy scouts. Throughout Webelos, the cub scouts will earn the requirements for the Arrow of…
