History Of Boy Scouts

On June 28, 2000, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 ruling that the Boy Scouts of America could prohibit gay men and boys from gaining membership. This case came about when James Dale, assistant Scoutmaster to Troop 73 of New Jersey, was notified that his adult membership to the Boys Scouts of America was revoked based on the fact that his sexual orientation was viewed as inconsistent with the Boy Scouts of America’s values by Monmouth Council Executive, James Kay.

er: Should girls be allowed into the boy scouts? In 2018, The Boy Scouts of America whom were founded in 1910 will navigate into uncharted waters and allow girls to join their 107-year-old club and no secret password in needed for entry. The BSA for short, was established to give boys and young men a place to together learn responsibility, self-reliance and participate in activities that enable them to develop the characteristics that would enable them to be community leaders, proud fathers and handy husbands. The prestigious honor to reach the level of Eagle Scout is well recognized and should be due to the long hours of hard work and dedication put into the achievement. However, girls and boys are fundamentally different and girls should not be allowed to join the ranks of the Boy

Girl Scouts is a program and community for young girls. The Girl, in Girl Scouts, stands for Go-getter, Innovative, Risk-taker, Leader™. I believe in all of these things. I think Girl Scouts is a great opportunity for girls to become confident with themselves, learn to be kind and selfless and learn to be a leader. I have been a Girl Scout for a long time now, and am working on my silver award. I feel that all girls should have the ability to be a Girl Scout and learn how to make the world a better place.

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.

"I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, and all America, and all the world, and we’re going to start it tonight" (Juliette). This was how the unexpected founder, Juliette Low started the girl scouts. Juliette was born Juliette Gordon Low on October 31, 1860 in Savannah, Georgia. She was the second of six children and never had any children of her own however, she had no problem working with children and helping them. She was deaf in both ears and had several other misfortunes in her life, however, instead of feeling guilt-ridden for herself, she went and created one of the leading scouts in the world today (Juliette). By opening up new opportunities for young girls, Juliette Low interchanged the values of her time and the way people

One major controversy in effect today is whether girls should be allowed to join the Boy Scouts of America or should there be a distinct separation between the girls and boys. In the article, “Boy Scouts Face Renewed Push to Let Girls Join the Ranks” by David Crary, several girls across the nation have took it upon themselves to try and join the Boy Scouts of America. Some believe that girls should be able to join in order to gain the same scouting experience as the boys in the organization. Others including myself, believe that if the girl scouts aren’t happy with their scouting, they should take the initiative to make a difference in their own community.

For the past 107 years, boys have only been allowed to be a “Boy Scout.” After many years of requests from girls and their families, the tradition has been broken. This is very important because though the 1920s saw a great deal of change for women, in 2017 they are still not fully supported and respected. The Girl Scout Organization has an issue with this newfound decision because they fear they will lose members to the Boy Scouts. Traditionalist parents also have an issue with this because they think that the two groups should stay separate due to the different ideologies the two groups focus on.

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,

Let me start out my saying congratulations on being selected to keep your vigil. You are about to experience something that less than 100 people have experienced in the past 10 years within Unami. Another part about this experience is that the next few hours are time time for you to reflect on your scouting career and for all those who you have helped during it.

William D. Boyce was a business man who hired hundreds of young boys, Newsies, to sell his newspapers. He has a great love of young men’s rights. In 1909 while on a trip to London he got lost in the thick London fog. A Boy Scout helped him find his way. He offered to pay the boy for his service but was refused, when asked why, the young boy explained that he was a boy scout a was doing a good turn. Because of this Boyce brought the Boy Scouts program to America and started Boys Scouts of America, BSA, on February 8, 1910. Because if this man I am a Boy Scout

One would be un-American if they believe in not allowing homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts of America. Effectively on 1 January 2014 ends a one hundred year old ban on allowing openly homosexuals to join the Boy Scouts of America, which is causing a lot of ruckus within the Boy Scout community. That being the case, some of the older generation Boy Scouts are resigning from the scouts and others are accepting the newer generation with open arms. Since, society is changing and accepting the homosexual race, so should the Boy Scouts of America, basing it on the separation of church and state, it’s racist and equal rights.

In the world that we live in today, social justice plays a huge role in the decisions, laws, and actions that people, and the government make. I think it is time to ask ourselves, have we gone too far? We are all familiar with the Boy Scouts of America. They're a wonderful organization that help boys turn into capable men. The Boy Scouts have a law; A scout is "Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent." In other words, a Scout a good citizen, plain and simple. On May 3rd, 2018 the Boy Scouts of America made the announcement that girls will be welcomed into their boy scout program next February. The name, to appeal more to both genders will be changed to Scouts BSA. The girl

I have been an active member of Girl Scouts of America for 11 years. Within my troop we participate in coordinating events for local Girl Scouts and their families, sell cookies, nuts, and magazines annually, as well as participate in community service. Some of the community service events we participate in include, making Easter baskets for the local Women's Haven, making and sending Christmas gifts to our troops overseas and veterans, making and serving food at the Salvation Army, as well as providing hygiene and snack bags for each person we serve, and we recently provided care packs to be sent to the families in the Butte County area that were affected by the recent wildfires that California experienced last year. Also, my Girl Scout troop actively camps and advocates the preservation of the wilderness.

The two of them clicked and became good friends fairly quickly. Low was inspired by Boy Scouts and wanted to do the same for girls. She talked with Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, and created a Girl Guides for girls in London and Scotland. She saw that it really helped girls so she decided to create a troop in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912. That troop had 18 girls and Low’s niece, Margaret Gordon, was the first to register. She renamed Girl Guides to Girl Scouts in 1913 and paid for most of the organization. There were 90,000 Girl Scout members in all of the United States in 1925. Low become very involved in the organization. (Juliette Gordon Low

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
