On my honor, I will do my best To do my duty To God and my country. That is part of a quote you have to say at the beginning of every meeting in Boy Scouts. I tell you this because this essay is about some of the things I thought you would be interested in to know about me, and I even started off about how I am in Boy Scouts. Like I said I am in Boy Scouts, I love and enjoy being a boy scout , it’s a fun organization. My troop always looks forward to the summer because one week every year we go to a summer camp call Camp Geiger. The camp is located in St. Joe,Missouri. We spend a whole week of getting badges, swimming, and a whole lot of other fun activities. Our troop also goes camping in the summer, winter, and sometimes over the weekends. We also go on long trips, like this year we went to Colorado for about 4-5 days, and it was a lot of fun. Every Monday we have our meetings and there we discuss things, for instance what we will do in the future, and we play games, and we do a knot of the week where someone has to learn a knot and show it to the troop every Monday. …show more content…
The next thing about me is the fact that I like to play video games at home. I am mainly an action game fan where you have fights and adventures.The best game I have so far is GTA5 which is very fun, you get to do missions to a storyline, and there are side missions, for instance racing, or last team standing matches. You can also
Ever experienced cheer camp a famous college? Surround by its famous color orange and blue? Well, I did! A tremendous amount of people have their different ideas an exciting experience in their life. Although out of all of the exciting experiences I’ve ever experienced , I would have to say my favorite is when I visited The University of Florida for cheer camp my sophomore year. I was overly excited about spending four days at The University of Florida; I stayed up all night the night before packing and getting ready to finally stay at a college for four days with my fellow cheer sisters. From that experience I learned a lot about sticking together as a team, and friendship! But, most importantly, I learned that bonding together as a team is what got us to finish strong at the end. Those four days really opened my eyes to a lot of different things and I’m glad I can say that I really enjoyed myself.
Wednesday is when the kids get to be active and sweat off their summer slumber, including volleyball, basketball, and gymnastics all ran by the YMCA’s coaches.
The purpose of this memorandum is to outline my view point on leadership. As a Drill Sergeant, it is my responsibility to transform civilians into well discipline, physically fit, and competent scouts. I am entrusted to uphold the Army standards, live the Army Values and Warrior Ethos, and instill Esprit de corps.
The Wilson Elementary School Project was our first mural project. It included painting kindness rocks and working on animals cut out that are native to Oklahoma. There was a flow of positive feelings that I felt before and during the completion of the project. As a matter of fact, this experience was valuable because it allowed us to provide the student and teachers of The Wilson Elementary School with a positive and beautiful space to enjoy. All in all, this was a unique project that would possibly have major and promising impacts.
I have been a Girl Scout for eleven years. When I joined the Girl Scouts in first grade, my parents saw it as a fun way for me to make new friends. While I did make several new friends, I also developed many skills and was exposed to new opportunities. As Girl Scouts, we do much more than sell cookies every February. We also volunteer, gain useful skills and experiences, and educate our community through an organization filled with supportive and empowering young women.
... to be the backbone of the Army unless I am willing and able, to do what is right at all times. I must be the standard-bearer. I must be beyond reproach. I must, at all times, conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the corps, the military service, and my country, regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I have recited a creed daily that embodies what makes an NCO. I have lived by that creed and always placed the needs of my soldiers above my own. I have sacrificed in times when I should not have. I have made sure those around me are better off than myself whenever I was able. What I mean with these hollow words, what I hope rings true from the message I am trying to convey, is that I have LIVED with integrity. I have EMBODIED integrity, even when it meant it would harm me; because no one is more professional than I.

Wow, we have come to the end. Starting out the year, when people asked me what I was doing, I would answer, some variation of “my school requires that every Wednesday the seniors go out across the city to do service”. However, as the year progressed, that answer felt harder to say. The statement was still true, but the way it sounded was wrong. It was no longer something I did because my school made me. It became something I realized I loved doing anyway, and the school gave me a “push”, as to say. Now, I come to serve because I know my faith is rooted in service; because I know the value of helping others; and I know that the school is not forcing service onto me by making it a class, but providing me with an opportunity to exercise being
The camp is meant for the scouts to grow their skills while still having fun. A lot of people just think that scouting is outdoors and camping as American is apple pie and baseball. The summer camp experience can really change a scout’s perspective due to the amount of scouts that want to possibly accomplish the same goals as you. Through out summer camp you can participate in many activities like staff vs. camper dodgeball, frog calls, archery, and many more. The merit badge sessions, or classes as some say, can teach the scouts skills that will live with them for the rest of their lives like cooking, orienteering, fishing, camping, swimming, and much more. Although those are skills that they can also learn outside of scouts, the way that the program has it set up, you learn a lot more than you would of if you just teach your child the
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
"The core of a soldier is moral discipline. It is intertwined with the discipline of physical and mental achievement. Total discipline overcomes adversity, and physical stamina draws on an inner strength that says drive on." - Former Sergeant Major of the Army William G. Bainbridge
At the Boy Scout summer camp I worked at every Wednesday we would put on Native American dances and an open camp for visitors to come in and watch. The problem with doing these shows and open camp is that not all of the families are able to go see some of the Scouts camps because they are disabled. At the camp we have a hill called “suicide hill” because of the length and the angle of this hill that leads to all of the campsites besides three of them. An improvement that would be for these events would to offer some kind of transportation so that disabled visitors can see their child or grandchild’s campsite. Also, more handicap parking will allow more visitors into the camp to watch the show and
Be prepared: the age old scout motto holds true today. Our vast armies of ever vigilant boys and girls are prepared to make the sacrifice, to make a change in our world. All America needs to do is get out it’s bugle and issue a reveille to these fine little men and women, a reveille not only to them, but one to the nation, one to wake up, and move forward.
Cub Scouts learn these lessons by believing and living by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. The Scout Oath states: on my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Standing beside the Scout Oath is the Scout Law, which states: a Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. These promises instill early acknowledgements that the boys follow throughout their lives, from Scouting, to their place and responsibilities in the world around them. The most important lesson young Tigers learn as they begin their trail in Scouting is the Cub Scout Motto, do your best. This motto is a guiding principle and a rule for living, teaching young Tigers to always try their hardest, wherever they are. Learning the true meaning of the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, and the Cub Scout Motto are the stripes the boys earn to call themselves Tigers. As always in Scouting, the boys are not alone in their trail of achievement. To advance individually from Cub Scouts, to becoming official Boy Scouts of America, the boys must learn to accomplish goals as a whole
Since 1910 the Boy Scouts of America has grown and influenced Boys ranging from the age of 10-17 on the values of life skills and outdoor recreation. Created by Robert Baden Powell in 1908 in England, scouting has grown to over 161 countries and one of the first being the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America has a positive impact on american culture accumulating over 13 million hours in service conducted by over 2.7 million youth members and over a million volunteers in 2012 alone (Facts About Scouting). While some may say Scouting has a positive impact on American society others will say the complete opposite. The most controversial having to do with the openly gay ban that was in place until 2014, but still bans gay or lesbian adults. This means that even though a scout can be openly gay as a youth right when he turns 18 he will be kicked out of scouting. Due to the evolution of scouting some believe it won't be long till the gay ban will be totally lifted. Over the past 100 years scouting has had its fair share of celebrities. These famous scouters have helped shape american society either here on earth or up in space. Among these individuals have been Neil Armstrong, Hank Aaron, Gerald Ford and many more. Scouting has a positive impact on american culture by going through good times and some bad shaped by the american culture and the everlasting need to be outdoors.
