Scouting

minority group in America. I am an Eagle Scout! Since the beginning of scouting in the US, less than 2% of all scouts have become Eagle Scouts. This statistic reveals a small group of individuals, but the importance is in the diverse skills that I have attained and how I utilize my scouting experiences for the benefit of society. I am an outlier in the mainstream, but more importantly, I am a catalyst for diversity. My experience in scouting embodies the importance of participation and inclusion…

have reached the highest rank, Eagle Scout. As a proud Eagle Scout I can say that the journey to eagle is definitely a long and hard journey but one filled with adventure, great friends and completely worth wile in the end. People usually start Scouting in the early years of Cub Scouts. You must be at least the age of seven to join and the ranking is based on age not accomplishments. As a seven year old you begin your journey as a Tiger Scout, Then it goes on into Wolf, Bear, Weeblow, Weeblow…

modern-day transition to a masculine Christian and maternal feminist. To display this new educational tactic the church initiated boy’s clubs, The Trail Rangers and the Tuxis Boys, as well as a girl’s club. The boy’s clubs were developed to rival the scouting movement and maintain the churches congregation. Where the church’s boys’ club’s values were inconsistent with modern-day needs and struggled, its girls club adhered with the new coming maternal feminist movement making the club highly…

Last of all, I had always wanted to be a NFL Scout/Football scout. I have done a lot of other research in other classes to help look into the career field I want. I have been very lucky because of this; this is because I’ve had found new information every time I covered the topic of NFL Scout/Football scout. This has made me very happy and has given me a lot of information to look over and keep in my mind, it also as help me find people who have the same interest in the career field as I do as…

the biggest focus of my scouting career has been international scouting, and my role as a leader merged seamlessly into that particular niche. Twice before I had gone to National Scout Jamborees (the second time as the leader of the group representing my area) which inspired me to go further look for World Jamborees to attend, unfortunately I had missed the chance to go to Sweden because of my age, however I was determined to go to the next possible international scouting events that I could,…

person. I was fairly timid and generally unsure of myself. Scouting changed that. It provided me an outlet where my ideas were valued and I was allowed to make mistakes. I did not succeed necessarily at everything I tried; it would sometimes result in overcooked food or a flooded tent. I would sometimes fail but also I would learn from it. In turn, I gained confidence, and a willingness to be open to new experiences. As a result scouting took me to places…

the lineup for this other player based on his head-to-head statistics against this pitcher, that player will have a better chance to perform well. The scouting department, broken into two main areas, advanced scouting which scouts other MLB teams in order to determine the best strategy to use when playing those teams, and player acquisition scouting which evaluates and recommends players that the team should consider acquiring. These two types of scouts will use different criteria in order to…

such a profound impact on me. Like many, I had heard the statistics - just over 2% of the boys who start Scouting, ever attain the Eagle rank – but it wasn’t until I got closer to that accomplishment, that I realized just why that number was so small. The first realization of my growing maturity was in the diversity of merit badges I earned. I’m sure that when most people think of Scouting, they immediately think of outdoor activities, so swimming a mile, flying a plane, using dogs for search…

about the joys of Boy Scouts he typically does not know about the administration side of running a troop. In the local Boy Scouts of America (BSA), the large majority of the adult leadership is made up of volunteers. There are numerous levels of scouting from Troops (being the most localized) to National (the most administrative). In this organization a select few people come together and make decisions about a group on a national scale. One of these policies ban the carry of firearms on a…
