In The Cay, Phillip’s character reveals through many conflicts that he developed independence, confidence, and maturity. Phillip demonstrates independence after experiencing blindness as evidence in the novel when he survived on the cay after Timothy’s death. However, before Phillip developed independence, Phillip was helpless at the beginning of the novel. This can be shown by Phillip acknowledging that he didn’t know how to do anything. (Taylor 59). “I knew how helpless I was without Timothy.”

Academic success to me is achieving good grades and understanding the material to get good grades. Academic success also means to have an good attendance. I already get mostly A’s and B’s, but I am not good at staying on top of things.

Attending class is important so I don't miss any assignments and get behind. Being in class is important because its proven that students

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
Is Everyone the Same? Narrative When I was 13 years old I went to a boy scout event with thousands of scouts, that was 15 days long called National Jamboree, which was held out in West Virginia. It wasn’t going to be like any other normal scout trip I’ve been on where it’s just my friends and I that go on a weekend Campout. This was going to be a fun and a very adventurous trip with people from all over the world in which I had no clue what I was going to expect. I’ve never been around other people
of position holder:Ryan Honwad Term:Fall 2015 Responsibilities Mid-Term/Final Assessment & Comments ⃝ Develop and implement a training program for Leave No Trace. Completed: Learning the Principles is a requirement to rank up in boy scouts, but I have seen many scouts forget them once they have completed this requirement. This defeats the purpose of learning them in the first place. To prevent this from happening, I did a few things. I started to talk to all the patrols about these principles during

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
Trail Life USA vs. Boy Scouts of America Trail Life USA (TLUSA) and Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are two youth development organizations that share a similar mission: to provide young people with the opportunity to grow through skill development, outdoor experiences, and service to others.

I became a Girl Scout in October of 2004 and I am still one today. Over the past 13 years, I have been exposed to many new wondrous things through the Girl Scout Program. I have learned new skills, experienced new activities, visited new Countries and met new friends. As a result, I have grown into a self-confident, courageous and outgoing person. I live the Girl Scout Motto and feel that if everyone was given the same opportunities that the world would be a better place. I truly believe that I
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
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
“Be prepared”. “How many times have I heard this?”. More times than I can count. I have been blessed to be surrounded by leaders and parents that have taught me this very important motto. Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout was my first task. Patience and hard work was the backbone of this endeavor, and now that this chapter of my life has come to a close, I’d be elated to open another with the same virtues at my side. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance will be required to complete this course
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
