Perseverance Letter To Boy Scouts
“Perseverance” “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country,” Boy Scouts of America. One of the most prominent and shaping factors in my life (Boy Scouts) I took for granted for the first few years of scouts. Twelve years in the making I finally achieved it, the rank of Eagle Scout. Sometimes being dragged to the meetings as a regular Boy Scout, I despised it in the beginning, being criticized by my peers for partaking in the organization deterred me from Scouts. I fought tooth and nail with my parents for years complaining about Boy Scouts, not realizing what invaluable lessons I was gaining whilst in the organization. DxD+P=S, something that my mom had ingrained in my mind me as far back as I can remember. The formula:

    You will see by the date of my letter, that our quarters are changed. We came to Indianapolis last Tuesday and were walked without a moment's delay to Camp Carrington where ae are presently digs in.

    American Legion: Personal Statement Of Purpose

    Last summer, I endeavored a life changing experience. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a leadership program. It is the best Boys State program in the nation. On top of this, it is among the top programs for leadership, growth, and is a meeting of the greatest minds of Ohio, and by proxy, of the nation. But it’s so much more than that. From Day One, the minute you step off the bus, it instantly becomes an incredible experience. Everyone, people who have never even met before, are shaking everyone else’s hands, introducing themselves, and campaigning for positions before anyone has even dropped their luggage off. It was breathtaking, truly, and it made me realize that I too had to step up. Naturally, I did just that. I started meeting people,…

    Boy Scouts Of America Vs Dale Essay

    I would write my opinion to majority because in the Boy scouts V. Dale case, i disagree to the majority about violating the law of Boy Scout's. There are many opponents of gay people as it is, and they all have their reasons to dislike the idea of letting them get elected . One of the main reasons is that the primary purpose of leadership is the right way to lead other people. The Boy Scouts seek to give values to young people by doing activities like: camping, fishing, and during this whole time the Scoutmasters conduct them with Boy Scouts values, so this is also one positive argument, because if a scoutmaster is homosexual that doesn't mean that he will teach the youth about…

    Personal Narrative: My Volunteer Experience

    Nonetheless, through the challenges, I discovered strengths in myself. I have always been mainly a follower because I am easy to get along with. At times this quality has hurt me, but during my time at the camp I was transformed into a leader. The group of volunteers I was working with were not as motivated or passionate as they could have been. I could not do all the work myself, so I took my stand as a leader and motivated the dietary staff team to do their best work. I used my voice to delegate tasks to efficiently get them done, as well as pushing with perseverance when I was beyond the point of exhaustion.…

    What Gives Me Cause to Hope?

    Malcolm X once said, “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.” In the face of overwhelming adversity, what gives me the cause to hope? Ever since I was little I have been competitive in all different levels and types of sports, many of which I have stared right into the face of adversity. Injuries, family problems, and being strewn out between 400 miles of highway between Tennessee and Georgia have given me plenty of reason to give up on my sports…my true passion and desire. Did I give up? Did I let the face of adversity tear me down? No. I let my desire to persevere build me up even stronger. Instead of adversity staring me in the face, I was the one staring into adversity’s face. I have been asked, “What gives me the cause to hope?” Being able to prove to myself and others that I am capable of withstanding and overcoming any obstacle that life and adversity throws at me, is what gives me the cause to hope. I have learned over the years that no matter how hard or how massive the obstacle, if you believe in yourself and have faith in you and your abilities, you will persevere. You have to be wondering, it cant just be the desire to prove myself that gives me cause to hope, what else could it be? I have faith in myself and in my character traits. I know that everything I am faced with I will fight with the heart of a C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N. To me the word C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N. means: Courage, Hard Work, Attitude, Motivation, Perseverance, Integrity, Outstanding, and Desire to be Number One. I truly believe that when I am facing adversity in the face that I will prove myself and fight with the heart of a C.H.A.P.I.O.N. I agree with Scott Hamilton when he says this, “Adversity, and perseverance and all these things can shape you. They can give you a value and a self-esteem that is…

    Personal Narrative: My Influences In My Life

    Boy Scouts starts from when you enter 6th grade to the day you turn 18. Since I started since I was a Cub Scout, which starts in elementary school, this has been a huge part of my life. Apart from how it helped me grow socially, it also taught me a set of skills that I take great pride in. In Boy Scouts there are almost an endless amount of merit badges you can obtain. They have merit badges for almost anything, ranging from practical things like personal management, to things like chess, and as long as someone is willing to teach it, you can obtain it. Although there are so many different merit badges, the Boy Scouts of America has required merit badges for you to advance to the next scouting rank. In Boy Scouts the scouting rank goes: New Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star Scout, Life Scout, and then Eagle Scout. The essential merit badges teach you things like first aid, swimming, lifesaving, knot tying etc. They say that once you become a First Class scout, you have a greater knowledge of first aid than the average person. I take great pride in the fact that I know a lot about saving people’s lives in emergency situations. Knowing first aid I feel like if a situation does go bad, I can always do at least something to better the situation. I feel that Boy Scouts was an influence in my desire to go into a medical profession. It also helped me see that I cannot handle bloody situations so that I cannot become a doctor. This was helpful in my choice of being a Pharmacist where I was told by a Pharmacy technician that Pharmacy is the most medical help you can give someone with the least physical contact. My discovery of not liking bloody situations came from first aid day. This was a day where the older scouts would test our knowledge of first aid. There would be scenarios set up where someone would have “injuries” and we must analyze the situation…
