Boy Scouts Transformation

As voted captain on Hampton-Dumont's athletic teams, I discovered the value of communication, unity, perseverance, and passion. Leaders are only successful if they have followers. I have come to know that every individual has a gift to contribute. Every role is vital. My teammates trust me because I value the individual and withhold judgement. I genuinely care about each and every girl, regardless of who she is or where she's come from. I seek and expect the best out of everyone, and when you do that, anything is possible. With this leadership style, each of our school athletic teams became cohesive and united. It became less about me and more about friends with true commitment to each other who focus on the big picture of teamwork.

Eventually, after four long, hard-working years, I achieved my Eagle Scout rank. In just one mid-summer evening, I went from one of 2.4 million Scouts, to just one of 146,400 Eagle Scouts, a little over 6% of all chartered Scouts of 2014. I reached my lifetime goal of become my family's first Eagle Scout. At the ceremony, for the first time, I had a crowd of 150 cheering for me, and not one person in the room didn't cry tears of joy for

In positions such as Scribe, Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader and my Eagle Project, I learned to organize camping trips and coordinate logistics with adult leaders. In my Eagle Project, I worked with the National Park Service, the C & O Canal Trust, and my troop to execute a successful project. I hope to share Scouting with my kids by taking them on camping trips and other outdoor activities. It is my ultimate goal to return to Philmont as a chaperone for my own son, so I can revisit the gorgeous views of Mt. Phillips and Uraca

While I was in The Boy Scouts of America, I have worked on countless Eagle Scout projects gaining multiple hours working on them. Eagle Scout projects are projects that once you reach a certain rank you can start working to get your eagles. One of the objectives to earn this award is to do a community service project that will benefit the community. For my own project, I worked a minimum of 20 hours. With lining it up and getting equipment and finding people who could help work with me I also helped as many as I could as well.

Standing in front of a bunch of kids, I found myself with the Boy Scout Handbook, the kids are screaming. They wanted to do literally anything other than sit and listen, but I had to teach them. A few years ago, being an older kid in my troop, from time to time, it was my job to teach a bunch of twelve year olds. In Boy Scouts, it is the job of the older scouts to teach the younger scouts how to be the next generation of Boy Scouts.

Less than four percent of boys in the United State become Eagle Scouts, yet, never one to shy from a challenge, this was my goal. When I finished elementary school and joined the Boy Scouts, I dedicated myself to this objective. I earned the six ranks below the Eagle Scout rank, as I demonstrated my ability to lead and follow the moral guidelines of the Scouts. With traits that include honesty, loyalty, and friendship, I take the great pride in knowing that today I embody the epitome of a Boy Scout and, due to my time in the Boy Scouts am uniquely prepared to take on any challenge.

Everybody is tired of hearing from others that their generation is the worst, we're all lazy, and all we do is nothing. It has to be getting redundant people saying this to every upcoming generation even though there are organizations that have been created to help with this problem. I’m sure everybody has heard of the boy scouts, and that they go out camping, try to get badges and that’s it; it was just a way to keep kids busy and out of trouble during the summers. If you really dig into what they really do and what they’re all about, you’ll see a whole different aspect of the boy scouts beside the stereotypes. Their mission is to help instill proper ethics and morals into young kids so they can make correct and mature choices over their lifetime(Boy

As you may already know, the highest in which rank a Boy Scout can achieve is the rank of Eagle. To earn this rank, along with other rigorous requirements testing aspects of your physical and emotional strength, a scout is required to successfully plan and execute a service project benefiting the community in some way, shape, or form. The purpose of the project is to test the scout on all of the skills that he has been learning throughout his scouting experience. These challenges range from planning and providing leadership; to fundraising and gathering the supplies needed to fulfil the toilsome task at hand.

The responsibilities and challenges of being the student leader of about 60 students in the Junior Reserve Officer Corps during high school inspired me to be a leader. After graduation, I joined the Virginia Army National Guard as a Combat Medic and pursued a civilian profession as an Emergency Department Technician. I began to master the position’s technical skills and learned how to build interpersonal relationships with the people around me. Knowing that leaders continue to seek out ways to personally grow, I began taking the initiative in my professional career to develop essential leadership skills and qualities. I started to take the lead role in executing new processes and worked with hospital leaders to perfect those processes which improved the quality of care and safety of our patients. In the National Guard, I have had to act as the leader of my peers within my platoon in the absence of my supervisors during my military training. Even after gaining valuable experience by working above

I come from Oak Creek, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. The city has a single public high school, which I attended. During my time there, I took many classes designed to prepare me for college, and participated in Freshman Football, Boy's Swim, and Computer Club. I discovered my passion for mechanical engineering and computer science due to classes I have taken. Outside of school, I became involved in the Boy Scouts of America, and I am a active scout operating out of Troop 218. Through Boy Scouts, I have been on many camping trips, and have been a part of many service projects. I have earned merit badges on subjects from archaeology, to tracking, to robotics. Scouting has taught me leadership and communications skills that i put to

A fundamental distinction between Girls Scouts and Boy Scouts is the ranking or phases that are utilized in both of the nonprofit organizations. Phases in a Scouting program is extremely crucial to the progression of the youth. According to “Boy Scouts of America”, the Boy Scouts ranking system has seven phases. The seven phases include: Scout, Tenderfoot, Second-class, First-class, Star, Life and Eagle. Each of these phases require the youth participates to uphold a certain level of integrity and master a particular skill. When a Boy Scout wants to advance in these phases, they must first assemble a meeting with their scout master. When meeting with their scout master, the Boy Scout must complete a series of tasks that show that he is worthy

Boy Scouts requires merit badges that will help a young man think properly and effectively in harsh and risky situations. Twenty one merit badges are needed but thirteen are required by The Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts lets young men go on camping trips in the wild and do things they are unable to do at home.“He fed the young flame with pieces of dry grass and with the smallest dry sticks”(London) . Young men can not make a fire at home or at school where Boy Scouts gives young men this chance. In troop meetings young men do first aid scenarios, that teaches one to think quickly and efficiently. “He would have to build a fire and dry his moccasins and socks. This was most important at that low temperature.” This shows the man's ability to think under harsh

I had always tried to lead my teammates verbally, but it wasn’t until the season was on the line that I was forced to step into a role that was far outside of my comfort zone. My teammates had fought to keep our chances alive that year, and in that critical game I was able to give back to them and help share the load that I had shirked for so many years. I have always been afraid to disappoint other people, but in thirty-two minutes I learned that there are moments in which the outcome is too important for me to take a safe or easy route. Obviously if my shots had not been ‘on’ that night the outcome might have been different, but for my own personal journey the victory laid in the fact that I had finally accepted the challenge to share the leadership burden. I will someday work as a scientist, a career field where Christian women are not welcome. It will be difficult to be a leader in a male-dominated profession, but sports has helped me see that I am capable of taking on leadership responsibilities. In order to do so, though, I must keep my fears under control and take responsibility for my worries and insecurities. It will be a struggle, but God has helped me overcome my fears in the past, including in that critical game, and I trust that He will continue to help me to do so in the future. Ultimately, I learned that I can only lead others after I have first

In the World there is this great program called the Boy scouts of America. In this Boy Scout, program they like to go camping, hiking, merit badges, sell popcorn, and other kinds of fun events outside. There is another great program for girls in the World, and it is called the Girl Scouts of America. The girls scouts preform exciting indoor activities such as sell cookies, make items, and every once in a while they go camping. Although girls have their own program, the girls’ scouts, some of these girls are trying to join in the program for boys, and these same girls pushing to join the boy scouts at an earlier age as well.

When I was in the sixth grade I decided to join the boy scouts, my reasoning was simple. I thought it would be beneficial when I would apply to High Schools and it would look paramount on my resume. I also thought that it would be a great opportunity to learn and develop more qualities within myself. I learned numerous life skills and procedures that will play an important role in specific scenarios that will occur throughout my life time. Gaining all this excess knowledge will only expand my mindset and create a better version of me.
