Persuasive Essay On Boy Scouts

When a young person breaks the law in Canada, they are dealt with differently than adults, for they lack the level of maturity and development. The federal law that governs Canada’s youth justice system is Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The act was created in 2003 with a purpose to hold youth (12-17) accountable through sanctions that contribute to the protection of the public. The basic principles of this act are crime prevention, rehabilitation and reintegration, protection of the public and youth, meaningful consequences, and accountability. Hence, it is fair and equitable, as well as effective for youth to a great extent, with preventing crime while ensuring the accountability of a young offender. The data from Statistics Canada show that youth crime has decreased 42% since 2000. This essay focuses on how the justice system effectively ensures the protection of society, the innocent, and ensures that those who break the law, face appropriate consequences.

Girl Scout troop 1511 has transformed sufficiently deeper than Monday meetings, camping trips, and a time to see my friends. I joined 12 years ago, unaware of the importance it would it on me. It has become the most consistent and valuable organization I’ve been a part of throughout my life. Girl Scouts has presented me with opportunities that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish single handedly. It’s led me to become a recipient of the Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Award. Along with having the opportunity to reach out to my community through service projects and gain numerous life skills that I’m able to use on an everyday basis.

Most Boy Scouts get to the second to last rank of scouting, Life. Once this point is reached, there is one last big requirement before the Eagle Scout rank is reached, the service project. This is not an ordinary pick up the trash on the side of the road type of service. This project is meant for only the most dedicated. It involves making something for the community, using the skills learned in the previous ranks, and above all, showing leadership. Due to the incredible amount of work involved, most scouts do not proceed to Eagle, instead they “Life-out.” I would have been a part of that group,

Being a Girl Scout from kindergarten until the end of middle school has taught me various life skills. Firstly, it has taught me the importance of teamwork. Through various projects and activities, my troop and I have worked together in achieving any goals set by our leaders and other members of our community. This experience has also taught me life skills that can help me as an individual, such as first aid and how to deal with children. My mother was a troop leader for girls in grades third through fifth, excluding me from the eighth grade, and I acted somewhat as a co-leader for my mum when the actual co-leader was unavailable. I set up crafts and helped the younger girls with badges that I had already gotten in the

Approaching my senior year, my leaders and friends ask me when I will complete my Eagle Project. My January deadline of my eighteenth birthday is quickly approaching, and after that, to my peers it seems like my scouting career should end. I am not done, that is the legacy I want to leave behind. I believe the hidden lesson scouts teaches us is to give back. We must continue to give back for the rest of our lives. We give back to our communities that support us, families that grow with us, camps we find friends at, and younger scouts that will be in our shoes in a few short

The United states national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner, states: "Land of the free, home of the brave." This patriotic song adopted by the United States as our national anthem to express our nation's identity is no longer justified in relations with females being required to be drafted into the military. The word required emphasizes that this is not the "land of the free" because the United States is making it a requirement for citizens to be forced into the military out of their own free will. Furthermore, the anthem states "home of the brave", but people are not being brave when they are being forced. Bravery means having courage and being ready to face anything that comes your way, but if the military is making it a requirement to those

Marching band is enjoyable. I play tunes in the stands. I support the football team on Fridays. I hang out with my friends, and I may new ones along the way.

America’s baseball diamonds, soccer fields, hockey rinks, and basketball courts have never been so busy with children. The number of kids involved in an organized sport is not what is so groundbreaking. It’s the way in which children are playing or how their parents are arranging for them to play that may be cause for concern (Ferguson). Much controversy surrounds youth sports with the biggest disagreements coming over parental involvement and the intensity of play. Although there are many benefits for team participation, there is a growing fear that the negatives are starting to outweigh the positives.

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?

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

When talking with a local Girl Scout recruiter, the top 3 reasons girls leave Girl Scouts when they become middle schoolers were revealed and include: girls think Girl Scouts is not cool, girls do not think they will have time for Girl Scouts anymore, and parents do not want to make the commitment to Girl Scouts anymore. All of these objections to Girl Scouts can be prevented by explaining the importance of Girl Scouts. If someone suggests Girl Scouts is not cool, a simple reply could be this; in Girl Scouts, girls can travel to places with their best friends, have more abilities to do things that non Girl Scouts cannot do such as camp, shoot archery and canoe, plus girls can get into college easier by earning the Girl Scout Gold Award.

An activity that I participate in after and before school is Boy Scouts. In this activity we do many things such as service projects and fun activities during meetings. I have been participating in Boy Scouts since sixth grade, during this time I have participated in many service projects. One example of a recent service project in which I have participated in is, a fellow Boy Scout’s Eagle project. An Eagle project is a service project that, an individual does as part of many requirements to earn the eagle scout rank. The project is organized and run by the scout with little to no help from adults or peers. At the Eagle project we helped renovate roadrunner food bank. More specifically we painted four walkin fridge/freezers, while cleaning

The Boy Scouts of America have been around for over a century and continue to be popular today. There are many reasons for this, but above all them are the benefits that boys learn during their time as a Boy Scout. The following are only a few of the things that kids learn from scouting.

When I entered the Boy Scouts, I noticed how the older Boy Scouts help and mentor the younger ones. After participating in the Boy Scouts for a couple of years, I've learned many things that my school and family did not teach me. Being a Boy Scout taught me valuable outdoor skills such as how to pitch a tent and handle fire correctly. I also know how to cook, how

Organized youth sports are extremely popular among youth and their families, with approximately 45 million children and adolescent participating in the US. There are many characteristics children can develop while playing youth sports such as confidence, self-esteem, leadership, respect, independence, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. Competition can help kids learn more, improve faster and reach a higher level of excellence than they would be able to without the ongoing challenge. Competitive sports can help keep kids active and health as they grow, and other distractions increase that may lead to an unhealthy lifestyle.
