...Okay so i was in boy scouts for a couple of years on and off with troop 120 but i really didn’t like the troop. i started in Cub Scouts the webelos 1 and 2 year following that, then i officially crossed over to being a boy scout. maybe the crossing over was just for webelos i don’t remember we just mainly fooled around and didn’t get much done. you see eventually almost everyone heads to the place called Camp Ransburg and every time the 1st timers they have trouble because they just sign up for like three classes then bang homesickness sits in.

...in the first grade I joined the Cub Scouts. That marked the beginning of my long and fulfilling journey to becoming an Eagle Scout. After a few years of Cub Scouts I was eligible to become a Boy Scout. I attended meetings and camps and finally climbed the ranks high enough to become eligible to apply to become an Eagle. Earning my Eagle Scout award was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life, and it marked a transition from my childhood to adulthood. The road to becoming an Eagle Scout was not easy. It took a great amount of time and dedication. As a Cub Scout I learned the basics, such as treating others with respect and how to build a fast pinewood derby car. Boy Scouts was much different than Cub Scouts. During Boy Scouts I started to learn how to be a man. Every year I would continue to see my friends drop out of boy scouts for many different reasons, but I pushed forward with my eyes on the ultimate goal of Eagle Scout. For my Eagle Scout...

...The significance of teachings from Scouting are often underappreciated and forgotten in today’s very technologically based society. In addition to attaining knowledge about wilderness survival or hiking, which Scouting is known for, Boy Scouts will be introduced to many life skills that will benefit them in whatever career they choose to pursue. Scouting.org, the Boy Scouts of America’s official website, claims the organization gives boys opportunities to “develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills.” Having a strong understanding of these concepts early on can “influence [the] adult lives” of the scouts that take the time and effort to learn them. Aside from preparing boys for experiences they may encounter during their future careers, Scouting can assist in selecting a line of work that interests the scout. Jerald Wirzman, Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 489, feels that taking merit badges “introduce[s] scouts to important skills or jobs that could spark a career for them.” With merit badges ranging in subject from environmental science to citizenship in the community, boys are given the freedom to take badges that they are interested in, in addition to several required...

...I can say with complete confidence that nothing has affected my life as much as being in the Boy Scouts of America. During my time in scouts, I have been able to watch myself grow as a person in uncountable ways. Looking back to when I first joined scouts in sixth grade, I remember a boy who was extremely shy, secluded, and had very few good friends. I can also remember looking to the troop’s Senior Patrol Leader with a sense of awe. There, standing in front of the room was someone to look up to. Although only a few years older than myself, this youth leader seemed ancient with wisdom, confidence, and ability; he seemed to have total and perfect control over the troop, and word of direction that came from his mouth was to be followed. As the years went by I took on more and more leadership in the troop, and soon, I found myself in that very position. Over the past year, I served in the highest youth leadership position in scouts, which was an experience that gave me a chance to develop my leadership and social skills in ways that I could have only imagined previously....

...Boy Scouts allowing gays 2-7-2012 Boy scouts of America will be celebrated its 103rd birthday 2-8-2013. About 2 months ago while I was watching the news on KARE 11 one of the headlines was that the “Boy Scouts of America are considering allowing Gays in the organization”. On 2-6-13 I read a news article published by Miranda Leitsinger, a staff writer for NBC news states “Boy Scouts: We need more time for decision on gay membership”. This was brought before the Supreme Court in 2000 and they ruled in their favor stating that this was legal free speech by a private organization and thus did not have to allow gays to join. I wonder if it was a sense of shame and conscience that brought about the statement in January. As society in a whole our views have changed about limiting people to organizations based on their sex, sexual orientation, color or ethnicity. With the recent articles about being gay and bullied coming out over the last year it doesn’t look good that the Boy Scouts sill up hold such unethical policy of discrimination. The solution that was put in place by the Boy Scouts after they had released to the press that they were going to consider allowing gays in Scouting was followed by poll for people for or against allowing gays. This is a Utilitarianism theory on the boy scouts part as they were looking for the public to make up their mind for them and be able to blame others. The Boy Scouts of America have Absolut phobia and should develop...

...United Way and the Boy Scout of America 1. The circumstances involving the Boy Scouts of America situation affects everyone that is a part of them and the United Way program. Larry Norvell is the local head of the United Way of Columbia-Willamette and he represents the larger company. He has to make decisions that affect all of United Way and the Boy Scouts of America. He operates a business and needs to handle this situation as a business decision and focus on the bottom line. Sometimes as a business owner you have to look at the pros and cons in any situation. Also, there will be a sacrifice made on either decision he makes. He consulted many people, but ultimately he has to decide what’s best for his organization. United Way is an organization made up of volunteers, contributors, and local charities to help people in their own communities. Larry Norvell is part of an organization that creates a work experience that is fair for all employees. The bottom line is looking beyond the immediate situation and the consequences that his decision will make on everyone. If Larry agrees with the BSA, then United Way will lose contributions from companies. If Larry disagrees with the BSA, then Boy Scouts of America will lose funding. Larry has to make a stance, if he doesn’t then this situation will come back and affect his organization. Society is changing; Larry needs to change policies in order to overcome this bad situation that has arisen. Discrimination has been a...

...required by law to have rules and regulations in place that protect homosexuals from workplace dismissal based on sexual orientation information. The case involving the Boy Scouts of America and the United Way detailed in Managing Human Resources (pp 150) provides an excellent example of the ethical and realistic issues that can arise surrounding this now common lifestyle. James Dale prided himself on instilling self-reliance and leadership in children’s’ lives as an assistant scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). After 12 years, this veteran volunteer was expelled from the BSA after they learned that he was gay because of his sexual orientation. Though the boy scouts teach young men to stand up for what is right, they did not have any anti-discrimination laws intact to protect homosexual volunteers. Dale, instead, turned to rely on the courts for help. During the court case, the state court initially ruled that Dale should be able to return as a scoutmaster, indicating that one’s sexual orientation does not drive the ability to help the scouts, but the BSA did not accept this answer. Instead, the BSA turned to the Supreme Court to get permission to release Dale of his scoutmaster duties. The United Way had been involved with the BSA for numerous years and provided support funding for various Boy Scout activities and programs. Overall, the United Way has protected its own employees and those it worked with by instilling a policy protecting employees against sexual...

...It was late July in the year 2012. I had just turned 12 and had wanted to go camping. I remember the long trip it took to get there. We went to carlostern sc to the back country. The place had marshes,lakes and really dense forests. The air was hot and sticky, as soon as you stepped out of your car your skin got so sticky like maple syrup. It was about to be lunch time when we got there. No one wanted to stop for lunch because it was to early but by the time we got there everyone was hungry. My friends and I started a fire after we set up camp. It seemed like it took us hours to get the fire to start and keep going. We had some soggy hot dogs from the cooler that had melted. All of the ice got into our food and made it look like crap. I was still hungry after that my stomach was hurting pretty bad. I told my friend I had to go and drop a load. It was about a half of a mile walk to go and crap but it was worth it. Before I even got there I about pooped my pants from seeing this giant banana spyder. When I got there I did my business and walked back. It was really muddy because it had just rained and the air was really humid from it. I got back to camp to find all my friends were hanging out in hammocks that most of us had. I went over to mine and gave a huge sigh of relief from that baby I just had. It felt great. We started to talk about going into the woods tonight to see what's out there. My friends and I usually do this for fun. I had heard that there was alligators out...

I remember hiking red creek with Christian and panning for gold. Where ever wed go, we would find the best tree to climb, the best cliff to jump off of or the highest mountian. It has been a wild ride with These guys next to me, and many others, some sitting in the audience have been through it with me since day one. I wish every single one of them could share this moment with me right now. Everyone of them deserves it. Not only did my fellow scouts and friends make this possible, there were many committed leaders and adults the helped make this bridge possible to cross.
