Becoming an Eagle Scout The Scout Executive of Southern Missouri presented me with a medal and a badge. The award recognized the accomplishments and requirements that an Eagle Scout fulfills. I accepted the award and took my seat. Once the applaud of my fellow scouts and friends died down, I thanked everybody for coming to recognize my accomplishment of becoming an Eagle Scout. I continued to express my gratitude to all the leaders and parents that made my time as a Boy Scout some of the best times

Failure is something that all people encounter in their lives. In some situations failure can break a person or make a person, meaning a person can fail at something and just simply give up. Others will fail and that failure can give them the inspiration to try harder to one day achieve their goal. I'm the type of person to fail and work harder until I am content. As my championship baseball coach would say "What’s our motto? Never give up!" Since the age of four my father has trained me to be

seventh game of the World Series; the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians were tied seven to seven. Kris Bryant stepping off his base to retrieve the ball, leaned down with a grin plastered on his face, grasped the ball and drove it to the guard at first base, Anthony Rizzo. His foot tagging the base before Martinez even had the chance to capture his position on the field. The stadium erupted in amazement. For the first time in 108 years, the Chicago Cubs had won the world series. The excitement,

taken in front of the Ozzie Smith statue, to compare it to the Ernie Banks statue. Everyone thought they were going to see some great baseball tonight, but mother nature had other plans. Of course I was wearing my signature Cubs apparel, The “C” shirt with the red pants and cub socks (the same clothes I’m wearing for the wildcard game, Wednesday 9/7/15). We got into Busch, and it was packed. “Can we get something to eat?” I asked. “No,” dad said “We have to find our seats first”. I was starving

golden ring that is so close to being within his grasp. From a young age Murray, maybe even as a Tiger Scout, set the goal of becoming an Eagle Scout. We were not really a scouting family prior to this, even though his brothers did participate in cub scouts. His dream was solidified on the day Austin Shepard was awarded Eagle Scout in our church. The ceremony was grand and Austin was a boy that had overcome a great deal of obstacles to achieve

It has been a long journey to get where I am today. I began scouting in first grade as a tiger in Cub Scout pack 852. I then continued to get the arrow of light, and then joined troop 1539 in 5th grade, where I have been ever since. Over the course of the last decade, scouting has been a large part of my childhood and has had a large impact on who I have become today. This program has taught me leadership, personal responsibility, and work ethic which have allowed me to excel in all areas of my life

they were being treated poorly? Jacqueline Adams, the author of “The Stripes will Survive” was about these two cubs that learned different techniques from their zookeeper. Nicholas

The year was 2000 and the Patriots, a team that was 5-11, seemed hopeless in 2001, Their Quarterback was out and it was looking like another losing season was coming. A scrub came off the bench, a nobody, a dude that looked weaker then my grandpa. He stepped on the field after a heartbreaking injury. Then this scrub started doing pretty good, then really good and even leading his team to the playoffs with a 11-5 record. He somehow made it to the to the Super bowl against one of the greatest teams

be a factor. The biggest problem that they are going to have to face is their last regular season series against the Dodgers. The Dodgers have risen to the occasion since the end of the first half of the season and have played almost as well as the Cubs. The Wild Card race will most likely come down to the final series of the regular season and that series with the Dodgers will determine their fate. The Dodgers will be starting two of their best pitchers in Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill and will finish

Baseball Victim The sun was shining and birds were singing as the 8th graders of Adair Middle School lined up getting ready for tryouts. Memphis Range was the new kid in town. He stood at about 5’10 with a muscular frame. He had black hair like the brand new easton mako beast Memphis had got. The new Easton Mako beast was the bat every kid dreamed of having. Memphis was kid who loved the game of baseball and never dreaded a moment playing it. Levi Garrett was the other kid in town who was good at
