Boy Scouts Expectations

Personally, when I joined the Air Cadets at the age of 13, I had little to no interest in the Canadian Armed forces, let alone earning a pilot’s license; I was sort of pushed into it because all of my close friends were joining. My interest in the cadet career, nonetheless, increased with every weekly training.

There are many examples of things and groups that are different in appearance but have similarities in how they are made up. Two of these groups are Boy Scouts and street gangs. Although the Boy Scouts are a constructive organization and street gangs are generally quite destructive, they have practices that are similar. Both sell different products, have some sort of role for the women that are involved, and have some sort of rank system.

All across America, young men join together in a special organization called the Boy Scouts of America. Scouts from 1st grade to seniors in high school work toward a common goal: growing up into a functional, mature citizen and leader of the United States. I joined this great organization in 2006 as a Wolf Cub Scout and rose through the ranks to get into Boy Scouts in 2010. I didn’t know what to expect from such a widely popular, military-like group. Will I get pushed to my limit? How much can Scouts impact me? Is Cub Scouts like what others say?

Why I want to go to the U.S. Army for Eight years? I want to go to the Army because I will be serving my country. Another reason is that I will follow my dad’s, my cousin’s, and both of my grandfather’s footsteps. Also I have always wanted to go into the

When my grandfather earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1933, he unknowingly began what would become a family tradition that has helped mold my personal perspective today. He ignited a passion for Boy Scouts within my family, which continued through my father, and was fulfilled by me when I earned the Rank of Eagle in 2014. Scouting formed me into the person I am today more so than any other activity I have ever been involved with, reinforcing my family’s emphasis on leadership, service, and work ethic.

Being a Girl Scout from kindergarten until the end of middle school has taught me various life skills. Firstly, it has taught me the importance of teamwork. Through various projects and activities, my troop and I have worked together in achieving any goals set by our leaders and other members of our community. This experience has also taught me life skills that can help me as an individual, such as first aid and how to deal with children. My mother was a troop leader for girls in grades third through fifth, excluding me from the eighth grade, and I acted somewhat as a co-leader for my mum when the actual co-leader was unavailable. I set up crafts and helped the younger girls with badges that I had already gotten in the

Scouts. I thought it was fun for a while, but then it got boring and I

Since I was three years old, I knew that I wanted to go into the military, specifically the Army. I can remember attending a karate match and before the match, they asked me, “What do you want to be when you get older.” And I replied,” I want to be a soldier.” When I was applying to high schools, I ran across a school called Fork Union Military Academy. My first thought was why I

My parents mainly wanted me to interact with the other kids during that stage in my life I did not talk much. Consequently, their plans did not work out, but then I wound up leaving for another church that was closer in distance. Then my parent puts us in the girl scouts, so we could interact with kids out own and my father wanted us to learn about leadership at an early age. Before they discontinued the Girl Scout’s in my community, I wound up traveling to with them and went to the museum of the founder of the girl scouts and I stayed with the troop until I was 10 years old. Another discourse community I joined was the children’s praise dance team and choir at the age of 7 years old. There were two reasons why I joined these communities. First reason, my parents suggested to be involved in some activities. And the second reason, a hefty portion of my family had some type of Fine art background; meaning they are very gifted and most of them made a career out of it. I wanted to find out if any of these activities were going to suit my interests, but a few years later I wound up quitting the dance team. Let’s just say it was not my cup of tea. Later, when I turned 10 years old I joined my school choir, hoping that I would at least get better, and the following year I joined my school band. But after a few years, I rounded up not joining the choir in high school

My mindset was what other way to find out if the army life was for me, than to join as an Active Duty soldier? Being sheltered my whole life, I saw it as an opportunity for me to grow, and get to know the real world. Now, when I look back on my decision and see how much I have changed over the past ten months, I could not be any happier. I have learned so much from my Leadership, and I would not trade the experience I have gained for anything in the world.

I am proud to be an Eagle Scout. Since first grade, when I joined Cub Scouts, I have participated in and enjoyed the Scouting program, and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like without it. Though not all of my friends continued through scouting (in fact I am the only member of my Cub scout den who continued through Scouts), I have continuously made new friends and relationships through the scouting program. Scouting has been a defining part of my life, and my life would be drastically different without the Scouting program.

Let's go back to 2012, my freshman year. I was a typical teenage girl except there was something different about me, I was a Boy Scout. Not only was I a Boy Scout but I was the Vice President of Administration for my Crew. You're probably thinking to yourself how the heck did I get myself into that, you're probably wondering what made me so special to not only be in the Boy Scouts but to hold such an important position. Well I found out about the Venture Crew through my cousin and school, my cousin was in the crew and when I was a freshman she was diagnosed with cancer. When she shaved her head to beat the cancer the boys were so supportive and there for her that they shaved their heads as well, I knew I had to be apart of this. So I joined. I was very quite at the first meeting,

When I was young, my older brother was in scouts and like most younger brothers, I liked to do what he did so, when I got old enough I immediately asked my parents to put me into scouts. Unlike my brother I was very strong-willed to get my project done and become an Eagle Scout, at the beginning. I knew that doing the project was very helpful for my future, it looked great on a resume for future jobs. But over time I just got tired of doing the work that is required for scouting. I wouldn’t go

I have wanted to go into the military since i was very young. Most children say that they want to be a firefighter or a doctor, but i said that i wanted to be in the military. I remeber looking at pictures and learning about military officers and i felt called to be one of those men. My decision and dreams never changed, as most childrens do when they realize the work required. But for reasons beyond my comprehension, my desire of a miltary life never wavered. Both of my parents' fathers served in the military, one n the Air Force and one in the Army. They told me stories of their days in the military, bragging of their different branhes and I took what they said and choose a school that woud lead to a career in neither of their branches.

The Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA are both nonprofit organizations that can be the most wonderful experiences in one’s life. Being a Boy Scout or Girl Scout can help the youth develop maturity and character, as they grow with age and enter adulthood. Through the process of volunteering and showing leadership skills, Boy Scouts of America and Girls Scouts of the USA are both life-changing organizations. One involved in any of the two organizations will create unity throughout their community and uphold a legacy. While the youth involved in one of the two organizations earn achievements and countless awards, scouting can be utilized to create an exceptional college admission resume. Although the Girls Scouts of the
