Eagle Scout Accomplishments

Accomplishments in my life have really given me a new understanding for myself and others and allowed for personal growth. One accomplishment has provoked this growth: being inducted into the National Honor Society. The society helps me to think differently about other people and learn of ways I could become a better person. This experience has shown me the importance of hard work, never giving up, social interaction, and helping others.

There are many skills a young man learns as he works toward the Eagle Scout Award. He learns to love and protect the outdoors. Through the various merit badges he earns, he is made aware of many career options and the education they require.

When I am a senior, by the end of the year I want to be at the top of my class, get accepted into an Ivy League school, graduate with straight A’s and be on the softball and volleyball team.The summer after senior year, I am going to work to make money for my tuition, and I am going to get ready for leaving home.

To ensure a successful end to my high school career, I joined CORE Academy and Basketball. These classes and sport will help me because they both demand an average gpa to stay in. Since I really want to play, and stay in CORE, I will do my best to keep an above average gpa.Also I am retaking a class I failed in the past to catch up on my credits. Lastly I will attend summer school to either get ahead with credits, catch up, or maybe just fix a grade I received in the past.

It is an honor to write this letter of recommendation for Austin as he nears his goal of obtaining the rank Eagle Scout. I’ve known Austin his entire life and remember when he first started cub scouts. Each summer Austin comes to Georgia and visits with his family and each year he is excited to get back home to scout summer camp.

An experience that has made a profound impact on my life was when I directed and completed a community service project to fulfill a requirement for the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America. In order to competently act as coordinator for this service project, I had to develop both my interpersonal communication and leadership capabilities to a proficient level. Besides improving my professional skills, this project gave me the opportunity gain hands on experience working with groups of people who had varying skill levels. So, not only did these skills allow me to complete the project successfully, they have also proven incredibly useful throughout my academic career.

Two different post-high-school events have been in my plans since I was a young boy. They are: earn money for and serve a church mission, and attend Brigham Young University. These goals stem

An accomplishment in a person’s life, no matter the size, can help one learn a great deal about themselves. One must first set a goal that they will strive to reach. Then, they must be persistent and keep working towards that goal. If a person can stay focused on their goals, many times they will be able to accomplish what they set out to do. Once a person can realize their full potential, which accomplishments help them do, they can obtain confidence and skills that will better help them in the future.

As a member of the Boy Scouts of America in Troop 181 I have established myself as a young leader and well rounded individual. I have been a part of countless service projects with my fellow Scouts since I was in first grade. Sticking with Scouting has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I climbed through the ranks and attained my Eagle Scout award when I was sixteen. The Eagle Scout service project I completed along side the multiple other volunteering excursions I have been a part of have taught me several core values that will cling tightly to me from here on. These service projects have given me a fantastic outlook on life. My Troop often visits with the local nursing home to carol, plant vegetables in their garden, decorate,

One of the greatest things we can do in this life is to help others. I’ve found no greater joy, than when I have been able to lift another’s burden. One the proudest achievements of my life, was when I completed my Eagle Scout project. I was able to raise money and collect items to furnish an apartment for African refugees who recently emigrated to the U.S. After a couple of months of collecting and fund raising, I organized volunteers to set up the refugees’ apartment. I couldn’t have been more proud than when I saw the family’s smiling

What is the hardest thing you have ever had to do in your life? For myself, it was getting my Eagle Scout award. Now for those who don’t know what an Eagle Scout award is or means I will try and explain it to you. An Eagle Scout award is the highest rank possible in Scouting. In order to achieve this rank, you have to complete seven different ranks, along with other different requirements along the way. The basic requirements that you need in order to get an Eagle Scout rank are, twenty-one different merit badges (eleven required and ten unrequired), complete all of the classes, carry out a project that benefits your school, community, or church, and do this all before your eighteenth birthday. Trust me when I say this, it’s a lot harder than what it seems. Only about 5% of Boy Scouts get their Eagle Scout award. I came so close to becoming part of that 95% who didn’t reach this goal. I procrastinated so long that I didn’t complete my project until one week before I turned eighteen.

As I Boy Scout and former member of scouting’s national honor society I have dedicated the last ten years of my life to the cheerful service of others. Along this amazing journey I earned the high honor of eagle scout. To earn such an esteemed rank I had to demonstrate leadership and service towards others through a large community project. As a result I undertook the complete restoration of a garden at Saint Timothy’s Episcopal church called Founders Green which took three years to complete. Through those three years I I took on more responsibility at the age of twelve some teenagers have in their entire high school career. These responsibilities included laboring over a desk drafting a schematic for the entire project, followed months of

One day, adult leaders from a local Boy Scouts troop came to my first grade class recruiting new Scouts. I remember the Scoutmaster mentioning how much fun and rewarding Scouting can be for a young man and they also talked about the highest rank in the organization, the Eagle. According to the Boy Scouts of America headquarters, only four percent of all registered youth who participates in Scouting earns the Eagle rank. It’s one of the most coveted achievement, a Scout can seek and the most difficult one to attain. As a young boy, I loved animals and my favorite one, the Eagle. I knew that day; I wanted to join Boy Scouts with hopes and dreams of becoming an Eagle Scout.

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

If you didn’t know, I am a proud Eagle Scout. Over last summer break, I got a once in a lifetime opportunity. To spend an entire month of my summer to teach other boy scouts at camp. Plus, with the incentive of being paid for just being a boy scout was even better. After some thinking I decided it would be a great idea, so I go ahead and pack for camp.
