Boy Scouts of America

Heroes are just normal everyday people. They step up in the face of fear when it’s necessary, but outside of that, they’re just normal people trying to live their life. Ricky Martin, a singer, once said, “Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. Anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.” (“Hero Quotes”) This quote reminds me of my grandpa, Duane Culbertson. He was a hero because

Many people believe the Boy Scouts of America, BSA program is blemished due to recent events. However, I think the Boy Scout program is a great thing. This program gave me various life-long experiences and presented different aspects of the world. More importantly, this program shaped my personal experiences by allowing me to understand the benefits of leadership, teamwork, and improve communication. The BSA is designed to foster leaders, service, teamwork and communication to build stronger communities

I chose to write my ethnography on the history and culture of the Boy Scouts of America because this organization has been such a positive influence in my life. I have been an active member of Troop 1 in Brewer, Maine since I was eleven years of age. To most people, they believe that scouting only teaches you to build fires and set-up tents, but scouting truly teaches a person so much more. 2. After researching my ethnography and interviewing my informants, I’ve felt like an insider in this

to Eagle Scout Have you ever wondered about what it takes to become an Eagle Scout? It takes a lot of hard work and completing requirements to earn the title of an Eagle Scout. Although the work is hard, the joy found in being a scout member is unmeasurable. Being a boy scout is a very rewarding experience. Historically, boys who have earned the title of Eagle have been proud of it for years to come. In Boy Scouts, there are six ranks to complete before you are eligible for Eagle Scout. The first

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

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

To begin, I would like to thank my fellow colleagues, the young scouts that made this possible, and most of all my family and God. We gather here, not as a tribute to my great leadership, but in gratitude of you all allowing me to serve the community by supporting, teaching, and upholding the fundamentals of scouting. The fact that I am being awarded the Boy Scouts Wood Badge is only a novelty perk of being a Scout master. And as I stand before you, I would like to remind you all that it has not

past couple years, I’ve had multiple leadership positions with the Boy Scouts of America; each one teaching me valuable lessons about being a leader and about life. The most recent one would be serving on the Grand Canyon council as a National Eagle Scout Association and an alumni representative. I’ve been on each of these for four years now. For the N.E.S.A. (National Eagle Scout Association) my role was to help retain new Eagle Scout to stay active with scouting and not just be done. The way I accomplished

wasn’t until the fifth grade that I decided to do any activities out of school. I chose to be a part of the Boy Scouts of America to hopefully learn some life skills. Because of the time that I joined in I would only be in the Cub Scouts for a period of one year before crossing over into the Boy Scouts. During both my time in both Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, I met my closest friends. Being a Boy Scouts allowed me to challenge myself to go outside of my comfort zone. These experiences helped me become a

Today in the Scouts, boys have more opportunities than girls. This issue is causing upheaval among equal rights advocates. Due to protests made by these advocates, girls are now able to join the Boy Scouts, but combining them does not solve the problem. Rather, Girl Scouts should have the same opportunities as the Boy Scouts because of the strive towards equality, scholarship opportunities, and Title IX. The push for equality is a goal yet to be reached, due to the lack of opportunities for girls
