I Want To Go To Boy Scouts: Personal Narrative

A person’s current life can be greatly influenced by past experiences, especially when those experiences involve heartbreak and tragedy. In the book Hotel On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry contends with the communication flaws with his father and his best friend Keiko who who was separated from him due to World war 2. His father’s racial bias towards Keiko and Japanese people in general affects Henry in a very profound way. Racial tension and victimization between two different cultures can have a great impact on family relations and love.

The article “Boys Scouts Should Not Backtrack on Its Values” by Mathew Staver states about allow homosexual Scouts and Scoutmasters among their ranks. The author is conservative, with outdated beliefs and xenophobic mind. He states if they open places in Scouts for homosexual people “The Scouts would become a sham.” (Mathew Staver, 16) using an event dated in 1999 which in Canada when the Scouts opening positions for homosexual people their membership start fall and disagreeing on allow homosexuals.

My voluntary contributions have ranged from Boy Scout service projects to youth group outreach to NHS activities, however my most significant voluntary contribution was my Eagle Scout Project, which was completed in June of 2015. The project consists of a memorial rose garden surrounding the flagpole on the front lawn of Altamahaw Ossipee (AO) Elementary School. The garden stretches about an 8 foot radius around the flagpole, with eight rose bushes surrounding a stone path, an engraved memorial stone, and a garden bench, all surrounded by mulch. The garden is in memory of Mr. Elliott Faucette, the former PTA president of A.O. Elementary, who unexpectedly died of a heart attack in December of 2013. Although I didn't know Mr. Faucette very well,

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assistant Scoutmaster to Troop 73 of New Jersey, was notified that his adult membership to the Boys Scouts of America was revoked based on the fact that his sexual orientation was viewed as inconsistent with the Boy Scouts of America’s values by Monmouth Council Executive, James Kay.

The year is 2016, it is a cold and rainy Tuesday afternoon. My father, John Carey, and I are driving to Sherman, Texas. Once I reach Sherman I will go before a board of leaders in order to achieve the ranking of Eagle Scout. I am incredibly nervous, anxious, but really I am ready to get into the meeting and show them that I am trustworthy and capable of achieving such an honor. As we pull up to the church where the meeting will be held, I realize that I could possibly not be ready. I have gone over my project, which they will be asking questions about, a million times. Not to mention I am the one who orchestrated the planning and everything about the project, so I am very familiar with it. Yet, I sit and wonder what if they ask that one question

Before the first meeting, my mother described the organization to me. When she described the cub scouts, I was excited until she revealed something I did not expect. She told me that most of the kids had joined the program as tiger cubs when they were six, but since I was an eight year old that I would be joining as a bear cub. I did not like the idea of becoming an outsider again since it

My interests in school are mainly science and history. I have many interest outside of school like welding, and build things out of metal for people. I like to hunt, fish,and being outdoors in nature. My hobbies include being in Boy Scouts, playing sports like Football, Baseball for my school. I also participate in ag Mechanics, and I shoot Air rifle competitively and I have gone and won State, and competed in the National competition.

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?

My Girl Scout Troop (#473) and I went to the Discovery Cube on Tuesday, December 22, 2015. It was raining really hard so we did not go outside much. Did I mention that they were having their “Winterfest”?

It’s five in the morning as I rise, throw on some layers and mentally prepare myself to stand out in the freezing cold till eleven handing out water and gatorade to runners. Growing up, I always had the values of service and leadership hardwired into my brain from my parents and the Boy Scouts because of getting involved with them so early in my life. Now that I am older, I am beyond grateful for this upbringing because they are two very important values that are often overlooked or misinterpreted by many people. My biggest display of these virtues was my Eagle Scout Project and the fundraising for it that I performed in my sophomore year.

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 third grade, I joined Cub Scouts. Throughout the course of the year, I learned many new skills and attended troop activities. I soon earned my Bear badge and advanced to the rank of Webelos. As a Webelos Scout, I earned all 20 pins available, as well as my Arrow of Light award by the end of my first year, a feat many scouts don't achieve even in the two years allotted. Because I had completed all of the requirements a year early, I crossed over into a Boy Scout troop where I began my trail to the rank of

I have had the pleasure of staffing a Boy Scout summer camp for the past four years. At this camp, I serve as a merit badge instructor who teaches in the ecology department. Through my work, I have introduced hundreds of scouts to  expanded knowledge concerning forestry, environmental protection, and basic scout skills. Besides my status as a teacher, I also get the amazing opportunity to befriend each camper at my scout camp and encourage each child to pursue their interests and ignite their passion for the outdoors. Additionally, I served in numerous leadership positions at the camp: including an assistant area director (overseeing class quality), and as the staff "Senior Patrol Leader" where I was a liaison between staff and administration,

I was sad to leave my first few friends behind but most of them lived within the neighborhood so it was improbable that I would never see them again. In the 4th grade my parents enrolled me in Burton International, where I would complete elementary/ middle school and more importantly enter into scouting. Before scouting I remember my elementary school experience as not being sublime: low grades, troubles in the schoolyard, a lack of friends, and poverty plagued my young soul; however, enlisting in scouting didn’t solve my problems, it empowered me to solve them on my own (except the poverty I left that to my parents’ devices). I enrolled in scouting on a whim, I had always wanted to do something out of my normal routine, and often I would stay after school for hours on end with nothing to do. So I attended my first meeting that day and in all honesty I wasn’t too enthralled by the experience: I had expected it to be more camping oriented and straight to the activities, in contrast the meeting was about business, in addition often my classmates would call scouting “gay” and “lame” and I feared their

Imagine an entire world that is all either desert or farming field. Picture immense cities interspersed throughout the farmland. Now, see billions upon billions of malnourished humans walking from place to place due to a fuel shortage, and children working in the sweatshops of ‘developing countries’, except they’re everywhere because eventually all the countries became third world due to one major issue: overpopulation. This is an issue that will only grow if left unchecked, creating a version of the horrible world I just laid before you. The best way to prevent such a torturous future is to acknowledge the problems going on due to overpopulation, to find the root of those problems, and to take immediate action to solve the issues as soon and as humanely as possible.
