Girl Scout Gold Arrangements
Last August I started working on my Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award that can be earned in Girl Scouts. This is an individual project for the girl to lead while incorporating the help of others. It must address a global issue in my neighborhood. The award consists of at least 80 hours of working on a community service project and 15 hours of that could go towards planning. I chose to remodel the activities room at Sunset Nursing Home. I had to fill out paperwork to explain my vision on how I was going to do it and when i wanted it to be completed. I wanted to build bookshelves in the room along with adding new curtains, books and games.

I went to the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri headquarters in St. Louis to explain my ideas and receive approval. When I was at my meeting to get approved one of the ladies told me about an event in St. Charles where they have a huge book fair and I could get as many books as I wanted for my project for free. I attended the event and got a whole trunk full of books, videos and audio tapes. The next step of putting my project in motion was getting donations to build the bookshelves. I went to almost every small family owned company or store …show more content…
After the party I had to fill out final paperwork in great detail of everything I did from the beginning to the end. After turning in my paperwork in February i had another meeting to receive final approval and was approved as soon as i sat down. I had been looking forward to this day of getting the highest award in Girl Scouts since I joined Girl Scouts in first grade. My award is going to help me in applying for scholarships. The leadership skills I gained from this award will help me with college and future jobs. In conjunction with this award I also earned the Gold Medal Congressional Award and Presidential Gold Award for my hours of community

    National Honor Society Proposal Sample

    I am honored to be considered among the superior academic students at MCC and to be applying to the National Honor Society. If I am accepted into the National Honor Society, a service obligation that I would like to propose is collecting items for the babies and mothers in the Genesis House here in Melbourne. The Genesis House is a donation run organization that not only helps pregnant mothers, but also mothers who have newborns or young toddlers. I feel that this project would make an impact on many people’s lives. Most people in our world today believe that people in the Genesis House of Melbourne are fine because they have the volunteers there to support and care for them which sadly, isn’t always the case.…

    P4 Unit 19 Business

    Natasha did do this, but I think some members of the group lacked a little urgency when doing their work. Natasha, Adam and I worked very hard in trying to put together a detailed and satisfactory presentation for our product, having to do some other peoples work to make sure it was done. Michael, worked well but didn’t really turn up in class which made it difficult for us to know what exactly work he had done. Becky and Joe didn’t really make much contribution to the group, Becky put together some of the advertising and did a sufficient amount, but Joe did nothing to contribute to the presentation. Overall, the main outcome of how the team thought I contributed was good. They said that I worked well to bring together everyone’s information to create the business plan and that I helped them with anything they were struggling with. Myself, I thought that I could have worked a little harder on the business plan and make sure that it was in complete detail, but it was hard when I didn’t quite know what everyone had…

    National Junior Honor Society Essay Examples

    I feel honored to achieve the National Junior Honor Society award, ever since I received the letter informing me about how I earned the award I was very excited. This award means a lot to me and I have set high goals all school year ever since hearing about it. Every day I come to school and set high goals for myself whether it’s to earn all A’s, learn something new, or get an award. I feel education is very important and so far all this school year I only have been absent once and I’ve never been late. However, I don’t think all the credit should go to me, if it weren't for my parents I wouldn’t have gotten myself to where I am today. Their belief in me to achieve greatness inspires me. Throughout my life, they also helped answer all my questions, and still do. All though it’s not just my parents who deserve the credit the amazing teachers who have taught me throughout my entire life deserve some credit too, without their amazing teaching skills I wouldn’t be earning this award today.…

    Durant National Honor Society Scholarship Essay

    It was an amazing feeling to give to the community in that way. I was selected as the master of ceremony for our yearly Veterans Day Assembly this year also. It was an honor to be able to lead the assembly and make sure that the veterans were honored for their true acts of bravery. Also through National Honor Society, I planned a Red Out at a basketball game, a Cardiac Ball, and a 3-on-3 tournament in order to spread awareness and collect donations for the American Heart Association. We ended up raising 2,000 dollars for such a great cause!…

    National Honors Society Induction Essay

    Bringing people together encouraging human unity is a gift. Participating in service demonstrates that a person cares for others. There is no measurement for service to society, it is what helps to make the world a better place. I provide service regularly at my church, City Of Faith Church Of God. The congregation inspires me to give as much of me to them, as I possibly can. Working at. The church food pantry brings me joy.feeding citizens who are without the basics, food, and seeing the look of relief on their faces is one of the greatest experiences. Additionally, preparing for the culmination of "Child's Month Celebration" has been a lot of fun. Designing the logo based on the theme of "Be A Winner and Join The Race" was a fulfilling role. As a nominee of the National Honors Society , my mind overflows with ideas of how we can serve in our community. Some tasks we can fulfill include visiting the elderly. I am certain that they would appreciate and enjoy us going to read and/or listen them. Helping to clean our school environment would also be a good use of our service. In addition, I believe that academic tutoring from members of the Honors Society to students at NFA, other schools in the district, and the public library would be very useful and effective. Our service is important and would be very effective in our…

    Thank you Dr. Hammond for leading the Eagle Charge and thanks to everyone here today for coming to help celebrate this great accomplishment. I would also like to thank all of you who have played a role in helping me along the path to achieving the rank of Eagle Scout especially my parents who have supported me throughout my journey. I most probably wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am today without your support. I would also like to thank my Scout Master Mr. Newhouse for not only helping me achieve my goals but also for dedicating your time and energy to the rest of the scouts of troop 5 so that they may also succeed on their path to Eagle. Finally, I would like to that The Boy scouts of America for proving an organization to educate young people to become productive, responsible, and more citizens in the community.…

    Beta Club Transition Into Adulthood

    The moment that signified my transfer into adulthood happened just recently. Since 8th grade, I have been a part of truly incredible academic-service organization called Beta Club. Beta Club has taught me the values of being a leader by serving others, and it is from this “servant's” mentality that has made me a better person. Moreover, it has given me countless leadership options as I served as my middle school Beta’s president. Then, I was elected as my high school’s chapter president, and this is where my moment of transition truly begins. Each year, the state Beta Club hosts a convention in Greensboro, where you can compete in events or run for state office. The state convention was like no other event I had participated in, and ever since I attended my first…

    After going over everything on the agenda, our Link Crew coordinator announced we had something we needed to celebrate. She read a letter from one of our guidance counselors at the school. In the letter she described how a parent emailed her a few weeks before school started to tell her that her daughter has anxiety when it comes to new beginnings. She said her daughter stayed home from school her first week of middle school because she was so nervous. However, her first day of high school was a magical experience for her. The parent explained how her daughter was bouncing in her seat at the dinner table describing what a great day she had. Our Link Crew director announced whose group she was in, and sure enough, it was…

    Graduating 8th Grade

    Finally, the ceremony ended. I got out of my chair glad not to be sitting down any longer. I looked around for my family. We went to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. As we walked there, the small tight high heels I was wearing made my feet hurt. As we walked through the door, I heard the the quiet buzzing of people all around me. The inside of the building seemed like it was as small as the inside of a tent. As I was waiting impatiently for the food, I spotted a girl from my school who also was graduating. I wanted to say something to her, but she seemed too busy with her family. The food finally came. The food and dessert was as good as if it were brought from heaven. I finished my…
