Speech On Eagle Scout

people and see things from their point of view. Scout learns and understands this lesson firsthand

The last quality of a scout is usually the hardest to come by as one might guess because of being on the road for so long. It is tough to keep a family in this job because of time commitments, and the starting pay can be quite low.

First, Scout demonstrates a vast amount of loyalty throughout the book. Sitting right next to her or relaxing in the next county, Scout defends her friends and family to the best of her ability showing those around her how much she cares for them; even if it means getting into a

As scout is getting older she is learning more about what the town is like. She becomes aware of the things she’s done and the effects it has had on her and others around. This quote on page 278 shows her understanding starting to change.

In this lesson Atticus teaches Scout that you must understand where someone comes from in order to show true sympathy and compassion. Now before Scout judges someone she steps into their shoes. Allowing her to show compassion towards that person and many more. She has learned that the most compassion you can give someone is sympathy and understanding. Jem also learned these lessons but through experiences and challenges he had to face and go through.

In chapter 3, the relationship between Scout and Atticus is presented through the way Scout has been taught. As Scout is educated by Atticus empathy is shown from Scout as her father explains to her why she should show empathy towards others. By Atticus saying “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view ... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” (Page 33) Scout realises that she should try to see things from other people’s point of view to understand what they are going through. This significant part of conversation from chapter 3 shows Atticus giving Scout moral advice that takes control of her development for the rest of the novel. Lee tries to develop the character of Scout as he feels like she should be mature when facing the trial

One of the first lessons Scout learns is to be tolerant of other people. Walter Cunningham is described as having “looked as if he had been raised on fish food… had no colour in his face… and fingered the straps

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.

Scout is willing to take the responsibility for things that mattered to her and to her family and that is a result of her courageous character. She simply wants to defend everyone fairly just like her father Atticus.

  Early in the novel, Scout illustrates the courage she embodies.  On her first day of school, Scout acts as an ambassador for the entire class.  She takes the duty of informing Miss Caroline of Walter Cunningham's situation.  Miss Caroline had just scolded Scout for her ability to read, however, Scout still feels the classes' need for leadership.  Most children at her age would fear speaking

Scout is one of many characters in the historical fiction book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee that develop as the story progresses. She grows throughout the novel by becoming more aware of her surroundings as the story progresses and reveals more to the reader. Also, Scout over the course of the book starts to realize what kind of man Boo Radley actually is and begins to trust him more towards the end of the book. She even walks with him and talks to him as if he were a friend of her, which he could very well be at the end of the book. Finally, Scouts morals develop by in the beginning of the book having started at level one of Kohlberg's moral development chart, but towards the end of the book reaching level two.

Scout hung out with friends/people her own age. She mostly hangs out with people older than her. This is the first step of Scout becoming independent. She doesn't always need Jem around. Since she’s going to start hanging out with other people than her brother she will learn to protect herself and learn from life on her own. She will have more people she can rely on and come to when she needs help or feeling

Despite the early introduction to this lesson, Scout doesn’t fully understand it, or at least learn it, until the very last chapter when she finally meets Boo Radley, and stands on his porch thinking about the compilation of events which make up the book, from Boo’s point of view, “Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.” This shows the understanding Scout has finally had of the way people are perceived and the way they actually are. It shows that she has learnt what many

Another contrast between Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are the most noteworthy honors that a scout can be awarded. While being in any of these two Scouting organizations, a scout can earn numerous awards. The highest award that a scout can be presented with, nonetheless, differs between organizations. In Boy Scouts, the highest achievement a Boy Scout can receive is an Eagle Scout. Rather than an Eagle Scout being an award, it is the highest position in the rank system. Becoming an Eagle Scout takes much work and dedication to the organization. One receiving this award will have to meet several requirements. One must show that they are progressing in the program through their “leadership, service, and outdoor skills” (Trail to Eagle). Moreover, in order to become an Eagle Scout, a Boy Scout must first move forward in the ranking system. Although there are more than 130 merit badges that a Boy Scout can receive, they must earn 21 to be eligible become an

Scouts relationship with the constant adults in her life helps to shape who she becomes. Her father is a big role model for her and she looks up to him immensely. Her housekeeper, Calpurnia, is also a teacher for her. She teaches her about things in the kitchen and basic things about
