My Eagle Scout Project

The most honorable experience that I have had is working on my Eagle Scout project. I learned how to become a better leader, tackle difficult situations and how to work with others. All of these skills helped me be a better person. Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader

Balancing school and a social life is a task in itself but, adding an Eagle Scout project - also College Applications - makes everything even more backbreaking. I had to turn down going to the movies or eating at restaurants with my friends to work on my project. As a teenager turning down a fun time is painful because, I could either be bored doing monotonous paperwork or, be entertained for two hours.

The largest task I faced, however, was working with other

Some people are so pigheaded it is ridiculous and, dealing with them is the distressing circumstance anyone can ordeal.

But the person wanted me to also renovate a one-hundred-yard long path with stone dust, adding this to my project would have forced me to spend twice as much money on the project and put in more time and workers. To add to these problems and many more, the Boy Scouts of America does not let the use of heavy machinery on Eagle Scout projects. That means every yard of that path would have had to become stripped and replaced by hand to fulfill both the BSA and the beneficiary’s representative’s boss. I refused to add the absurd request to my project, thus prompted him to almost cancel my project. Luckily, I was able to negotiate with him along with some other adults advising my project, so I did not have to start from scratch. I learned that people sometimes want more out of me than I am capable, and I can’t lose my cool but instead, I have to rationally talk it out with whoever is giving me
