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.

There is something about the ideology of a subculture that sparks an interest in me. Maybe it is intriguing due to its members’ originality, courage to stand up for beliefs, or freely expressing their own self- identity. A subculture forms by individuals taking a risk, separating themselves from the mainstream, and forming their own distinctive norms, not caring what the “normal” members of the mainstream society think of them. Or do they care? Maybe that is the exact statement a subculture is making. Maybe these individuals are forming these groups so that people will care. Maybe their rebellious attitude is a final, somewhat desperate approach to getting that response. The images being portrayed in most subcultures are

In 1927, the American Boy Scout Uniform was enhanced with the addition of the colorful Boy Scout Neckerchief. This important artifact is now regarded as an indispensable article of equipment in the Boy Scouts of America. My first Scoutmaster informed me that it was no coincidence the neckerchief had three sides. The top and left sides of the neckerchief are meant to remind the Scouts of their long-standing duty to God and country. The right side of the neckerchief is to show duty to oneself. When Scouting parents and other adult individuals see this triangular piece of cloth wrapped around a Scout’s neck, they will more often than not observe the entire uniform and perceive the Scout as: physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

When discussing subcultures it’s important to establish what a subculture is to be able to correctly identify a specific subculture and differentiate it from a main culture. An example of a main culture or parent culture could be the most prominent culture of Great Britain, which would be its development from an island to a civilized prospering democratic country. The main culture that is associated with Britain that separates it from other cultures is that it is seen as a liberal democracy. The main religion associated with British culture would be Christianity, and most people would generalise British culture to be drinking tea, eating scones and having a particular “posh” accent. These small characteristics are what cultures are made of

The use of a hierarchical structure is a distinctive competence for Yorkville Cub Scout Pack 350 because the organization is aware of the need for such a structure, and operates successfully. The structure provides a level of protection for the organization by outlining each aspect of the organization, the volunteer’s roles and responsibilities, and requirements of each volunteer position. Yorkville Cub Scout Pack 350 also discourages a single volunteer from holding multiple positions within the organization. Through personal experience, this is not a common practice in Yorkville Cub Scout Packs, which provides a distinctive competence for Yorkville Cub Scout Pack 350. Multiple positions operated by a single individual can encourage confusion and overwhelm the volunteer, preventing the tasks and responsibilities from being completed in a timely manner.

Subculture refers to a minority of individuals who adhere to different rules, dress codes and lifestyle choices from mainstream culture. Throughout this essay the traditional definitions of subcultures, that mainly concentrate on class and style as their main features, will be looked at and explained. It will then be demonstrated how these ways of thinking are no longer relevant to the 21st century therefore the term 'subculture ' needs to be rethought for it to be an applicable category in the 21st century.

In closing, cultural deviance theories explain the role of juveniles in subcultures as well as the importance of a positive role model such as a skilled parent and a good education. The values of subcultures/gangs contradict the standards of success set by the middle class. Cohen analyzes the lifestyle of juveniles who are rejected by middle-class measuring rods resulting as members of deviant subcultures while Cloward and Ohlin find that gangs are formed when legitimate opportunities fail to exist. A concept in both of these theories is that people share common values and goals, but being able to attain them is diminished due to their social class.

In conclusion, by remaining in Boy Scouts and putting forth the time and effort to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, I managed to reinforce my most important values, including hard work, religion and morality, and lastly but most importantly honesty. Furthermore, I can say without a doubt that scouting has made me a better person like it has so many others. I’m glad to be able to share this experience and the many important aspects of my person that are tied to it to all my classmates. Being able to let others know about an event that forever marked a turning point in my life gives the event itself more meaning than ever. I hope that all of you can take away from this just how rewarding taking the time to improve yourself and your community can

This chapter had a lot of important and informative insights. Yet the most insightful information that I have learned, was subculture theory. Subculture theory is the “shared [of] several traits with activity theory and disengagement theory- a convention that people lost statues in old age, a focus on role changes in later life, and a belief that activity enhanced the lives of the elderly. It differed in that it built on a sociological theory of subcultural development” (pg.53). I have learned today in one of my other class that we humans are living longer than in the past years. The United State is one of the countries in which the elderly groups are living longer than other countries. The average age of elderly for 2020 is 60-75 years old.
