Scout Leader

Boy Scouts. The History of boy scouts starts way back in the 1900’s as British Baden Powell develops an organization in attempt to develop young men into war ready adults at the age of 18. As the world change, so did the Boy Scouts, from being brought to American to the founding of smaller branches and achievements for the scouts. Not only was development of the boy scouts began, the history of achievements grew within the Boy Scout association, to hitting 1 Million Scouters, 5 million scout handbooks

I am a Boy Scout. It feels odd writing this without capitalizing every letter. To me, “Boy Scout” is part of my identity. I live my life according to its values, which include being prepared at all times, serving my community, embracing diversity, and helping my peers. Through being a Boy Scout and being well on my way to becoming an Eagle Scout, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most diverse of people and making a difference in my community. Having always been one to see how

Every Boy Scout loves fire, something about its mysterious energy appeals to teen-age boys and their inner pyromaniacal tendencies. On my second campout, I was introduced to this tradition when a senior scout who just finished cooking bacon called all of us “little ones” over; once we were gathered around in anticipation, he took the pan and threw the bacon grease on our small morning campfire. As soon as the grease hit, the fire roared to life, but suddenly went back to normal. That grease not only

When thinking of Boy Scouts and Football, two completely different images pop into someones head with both programs seemingly to have little to no crossover. Yet despite differences such as the goals of the organization and what is expected of an individual, Boy Scouts and Footballs structures are very similar in ways such as the responsibilities adults have, how people are grouped, and these groups interactions with other groups. Obviously Boy Scouts and Football have many differences, with one

Harper Lee creates Scout as a smart, natural leader, and a dedicated and loyal person to Atticus that affects the plot of To Kill a Mockingbird. Right off that bat, we realize that Scout is very smart and intelligent. Right in the beginning she had exceeded her reading level and wrote in cursive when she began school in 1st grade.

had over three million members, you would expect for them to be accepting of all who wanted to join. Not in the case of Boy Scouts of America who revoked the membership of a homosexual scout member James Dale. Dale was a boy scout for ten years and earned one of the highest badges a Boy Scout could receive, an Eagle Scout Badge. In 1989, Dale applied to become an Adult Leader and got accepted as an Assistant Scoutmaster, but was discharged sixteen months later, because he was a homosexual. This happened

suggestions for being prepared are to have some basic training, have the correct equipment, being a trustworthy friend and citizen, and be prepared to save a life. First, I learned some of my basic training while participating in the Cub and Boy Scouts of America programs for a total of 10 years. During my Scouting training, I earned 70 merit badges. With each merit badge I completed assignments to learn the basic skills of each category. The topics varied dramatically from First Aid to Emergency

and go back to class. Now the final bell for the day has rung and ready to start the weekend and free from the teachers nagging voice. While having dinner chitchatting about one other’s day the young lad asks his parents if he could join the Boy Scouts. Suddenly, dinner appeared to be over. Quickly dad springs up and authoritative smacks his hand against the table in disgust. One hears in an extremely stern voice “my son is not gay nor will he join any gay organization while living under this

has brought me down the path of being a Girl Scout for eleven years. In these eleven years, I have done many minuscule, but yet very important acts of goodness. Also, as a older girl scout in my service unit, I believe that it is vital to be a role model to the younger girl scouts.

again. The countywide Boy Scout competition was rapidly approaching. Camporee is a test of our skills, in which scout troops get together and compete in different events. We have to improve our strengths in different areas, such as knot tying, first aid, and fire building. During the competition, we race to complete in the fastest time while also completing each event accurately.
