I realized I was making an impact on Cub Scout and Boy Scout lives. My favorite part of being on staff had to be Cub Scout week. I loved teaching these boys a new thing and watching their eyes light up. I knew that if I could get them excited about something then they would begin to expand and learn on their own. This was proven this last year when I was on Volunteer Staff at camp and boys who were in my first year of staff are thriving and active Boy Scouts. They have continue to learn and grow
I didn’t join boy scouts from cub scouts. I was in cub scouts, but the pack wasn’t good, so when I did join I thought it was going to be similar. I thought that we were only going to be doing arts and crafts like my cub scout pack, but I was wrong. What started as a pastime to keep my parents from complaining that I wasn’t doing anything after school became a major part of my everyday life. Since I didn’t come from cub scouts I didn’t know anyone in the troop and since I was a very shy child I had
If someone needed help with homework or anything in their lives, I would help them with the best of my ability. Now, I want to help people not only in my school or church, but also in the community. Reflecting back on my journey through Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, I find that it is very
earned all my pins and achieved my arrow of light, moving from Pack 527 to Troop 527 in 2011. Within my first year of the boy scout program I earned my family life, swimming, leatherwork, fishing, and photography merit badges as well as my totin’ and firemen’ chits. In that first year of being a scout I was extremely active, serving as troop guide and achieving the rank of scout. I made it to the rank of first class just in time to go to the National Jamboree in 2013. Before I went I was inducted into
Boy Scouts is about adventure. Boy Scouts is about camping, hiking, and first aid. Boy Scouts is about going outdoors and having fun. But Boy Scouts is also about advancement. It’s about trying to advance to the Eagle rank. Some Scouts love the feeling of accomplishment when they reach the next rank or earn a new merit badge. And some Scouts don’t earn any rank in their entire Scouting experience. They love the adventure of camping and being outdoors. The new Boy Scout rank requirements, which
The Boy Scouts of America consist of four main programs: Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and the order of the arrow. Cub Scouting is the largest program, for boys from 7 to 11 years old. It’s designed to pursue the aims of character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Boy Scouting is for boys ages 11 to 18. It uses outdoor activities like camping and hiking simultaneously while aiming at character, citizenship and personal fitness training. When interviewing my

Article: What may have started as a dream day at camp, quickly turned sour after parents discovered photos of their children posing with Hooters girls at Cub Scout camp.

6% earn the title of Eagle Scout. I am an Eagle Scout. When I joined the Cub Scouts, my eight-year-old self anticipated joining my friends to wild adventures the way a recruitment poster hanging in the elementary cafeteria showed through its variety of colorful pictures. Reflecting back, Scouts didn’t groom me to become the thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie I envisioned at eight; instead, Troop 119 taught me to lead and serve. Having the role of a leader in the Boy Scouts helped me to become a man
Boy scouts of America: Troop 849 I have been surrounded by scouting my whole life. The my father, my brother, the majority of my uncles and cousins are either an eagle scout or slowly working towards their eagle. Despite this, I never really was interested by it. To me it was a normal thing that I payed little to no attention to. For this reason, I chose to research and observe the boy scouts. What do they actually do during their meetings? What is the value of the scouting program? What are the
There needs to be a solution in stopping the Boy Scouts organizations themselves from dying out, but one solution the Scouts should start on would begin on solving the issues of gay scouts being banned and the camp's closing down. The first thing that should be done with the Boy Scouts organization is getting rid of the ban on gays, which would happen by a separation of church and state. The majority of Boy Scout units are ran or even owned by Christian churches or church organizations. Many of these
Help! Help! Boy Scout Down. I was a proud member of Troop 7, in the Town of Saint James, which I have mentioned previously, or perhaps subsequently. My patrol leader was Joe Delaya, who was probably only one to two years older than me, but seemed, to me, to be an age of authority. We had our scarce meetings at his house, which was a large beat up house located right next to the rail road tracks. It looked to be of age from the early suburban sprawl era. It was surrounded by a yard of hard
Five years ago, I joined the Boy Scouts of America. I was such a little kid, full of hopes and dreams about one day becoming an Eagle Scout. Fast forward 4 years to August 2016. Around that time I started to get my act together about starting my eagle scout. For those who do not know, the eagle project is the hardest part of your eagle rank because it test your leadership and your sense of responsibility. When I finally completed my project last spring, I realized that I had learned a couple of
Being a member of the Boy Scouts of America has been a significant part of my life for the past ten years. Through this organization, I have had the opportunity to develop important skills and values that have shaped me into the person I am today. One of my proudest achievements within the Boy Scouts was earning the rank of Eagle Scout. The journey to becoming an Eagle Scout was not an easy one. It required dedication, hard work, and a commitment to excellence. Over the course of several years,
As an upcoming middle schooler, I joined Boy Scouts without knowing the tremendous impact the program would make in my life. I learned the basics of outdoor survival and scouting from older Scouts—principally Life and Eagle Scouts—who had recently been young scouts like me, staring up at the grand mountain of scouting from the humble rank of Tenderfoot. These were the leaders and role models I looked up to. When I saw the leadership and character they built on their journey up the mountain toward
Scouting has been, is, and will always be a major aspect of my life. I am involved in the Boy Scouts of America and am an Eagle Scout. Scouts takes up a large chunk of my time, as we meet twice a month and have a monthly campout. This is on top of any service projects or other special events. Every summer I have gone on an extended camp out or high adventure with the Scouts. I have been to all of the three BSA High Adventure Camps (Philmont, Northern Tier and SeaBase) earning the “Triple Crown”
I was only 13 years old, but I was so close to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. The only major obstacle that stood between me and attaining Scouting’s highest honor was completing my Eagle Scout Leadership service project. I thought to myself, It will only be about a year to complete this, so I should be done relatively soon. Or, so I thought. I was working with Gilda’s Club in Hackensack, New Jersey to brainstorm some ideas for what could be done for my Eagle Project. After a couple of weeks
The Benefits of the Journey to Eagle Scout In recent years Boy Scouts of America has changed their name to Scouts BSA due to them letting females join the program. This was a major change for the program, but it allowed females to benefit from the opportunities and experience of working towards eagle scouts. One of the very first requirements every scout has to complete on their journey to eagle scout is the memorizing of The Outdoor Code. “As an American, I will do my best to Be clean in my outdoor
on 1943 and 1988, A League of Their Own is a fictionalized version of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). The World War had threatened to shut down Major League Baseball because all the men had been deployed. Therefore, Cubs owner Walter Harvey worked to persuade the other owners to bankroll a women’s league. Ira Lowenstein and Ernie Capadino were put in charge of recruiting women to play.
