Personal Narrative: Girl Scouts

In the beginning of the book, Scout is a tomboy. She acts, dresses, and walks like a boy because when she was little her mom died, leaving her in a house with two men, Jem and Atticus. Scout has a lot of masculine influence but

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.

For my Girl Scout Silver award, I had to create and finish a project that was both sustainable and filled a need in my community. I decided that I wanted to put furniture in the teen area of my local library. I then met with the children’s librarians and the library director and we set a fundraising goal.

Throughout the duration of my life, roles of leadership have influenced my stance towards my major, most notably my role in the Girl Scouts of America. Committing to Girl Scouts for thirteen years has given me ample opportunities to positively impact others. It has also given me real world scenarios in which I had the chance to resolve disputes, interact with diverse people, and contribute to several projects that bettered my community. I take pride in my time with the Scouts, as it not only benefitted me by personally transforming me into a young professional with a strong work ethic and morals, but it allowed me to help others and work on understanding the world around me. My most significant and rewarding project involved conducting research

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.

In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low had an idea, one that would change the world and help others to change the world. She was friends with the man who created Boy Scouts, and she decided to create something along the same line - but for girls.

I believe that serving others is increasingly important in an age where people seem to value putting themselves before others. Through my early involvement in the Girl Scouts of America, service and volunteering has always been a very prominent and important part of my life. Being a girl scout requires you to take on and participate in many different community service projects. These activities included providing support at the Ronald McDonald House, raising money for children with cancer and collecting donations for food banks and animal shelters. As a member of the Girl Scouts, I earned the Bronze, Silver, Silver Trefoil, and Gold Awards. These awards were all earned by participating in service projects and volunteering.

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”?

Stripping and paving a football-field length path by six feet by hand sounds excruciating. That is because it is, but, how can one negotiate against a monstrous feat such as this? This is an obstacle I faced that made me extend my leadership abilities during my Eagle Scout project. Oddly, though I encountered a plethora of turmoil during my project, I am glad because the experience allowed me to grow as a leader.

Through my church, family and The Boy Scouts of America I have learned to always give back and serve my community.  As an adolescent and young man I have been able to give back to my community by volunteering in free stores for the less fortunate, food pantries, and serving free lunches during the summer to school age children.  Even though this has helped build my character and shape my decision for my future, the most significant service project I have been a part of has been my Eagle Scout Service Project.  I learned an important lesson in project management and taking responsibility for something significant. This act of responsibility has helped define my transition from a child to a young adult I can be proud of.

As often as little children are, my parents thrusted me into an activity that I had no idea that I wanted to take part in. Most of these activities rarely outlive the years of barbie dolls or legos, due to a general lack of interest, or most of the time, an increase of dislike for the activity. For me, my dancing abilities withered away, as my place with the Girl Scouts of America grew stronger. Of course in the beginning they cater the activities towards the interests of little girls, but they still provided the community feeling. One year a small group of ten year olds made jewelry with the residents of assisted living. Admittedly, the jewelry crafted was made in the interest for the ten year olds, but each of us can still see the smiles on the elderly women when we handed them our finished, stylized, plastic necklaces.

In conclusion, Girl Scouts have changed majorly over one hundred years. The uniforms of girl scouts are very different than they were over one hundred years ago. Many new levels of girl scouts have also been discovered. Most of all the cookies have changed as well to have a better taste and a more satisfying look. History has shaped girl scouts causing the products to be different, the uniforms to be more comfortable, and the levels to include more

Today, schools are being pressured more and more to improve the technology they use and teach in the classrooms. Parents are placing this pressure on schools so that their students have the skills needed to compete in the real world job market.
