According to the National Eagle Scout Association, only about 5 percent of all boy scout obtain the rank of eagle scout. With over two million boy scouts since 1912, a select few have gotten this revered award. My best friends, Andy Olson and Tyson Wenger, had become one of these few select scouts to become eagle scouts. I also knew of many others in my church who achieved this rank. I will be honest, a jealousy formed within me that I had to hide. Pride overcame me, causing me to think thoughts
The years of hard work and dedication have finally paid off. As I stand with the scoutmaster in front of me, and the audience behind my back, I feel like this accomplishment will not only help me develop as a leader, but also as a person. Becoming an eagle scout is more than a badge and a rank; it is a sense of duty and fulfillment that I have sought for so many years and am finally able to achieve. From Cub Scout to Eagle Scout, like adolescence to adulthood, this momentous occasion symbolizes my
Ever since I joined scouting as a Senior Webelo, I wanted to become an Eagle Scout. I started my journey by obtaining my Arrow of Light, then bridged as soon as I could to Troop 0713 located at American Martyr’s church in Manhattan Beach.

Outside of scouting, I am very involved at various churches around the South Bay area. I have volunteered mostly

Friends of Scouting, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Eagle Scouts... I would like to start by saying: there are no more important people in this room than the two young men we honor here. If there were a Congressman, a United States senator, a governor, or even a chief executive officer of a FORTUNE 500 company here today, there would be no one in the room more important than our new Eagle Scouts. They are among the most important people in America. These two new Eagle Scouts are the worthiest members
The reason for me of wanting to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout is a matter of wanting to do better than the norm. It is often tempting to want to sit around and accomplish nothing, only desiring instant gratification. My ultimate goal in life is to have a successful and sustaining career and to be able to have a happy wife and children. By getting the rank of Eagle Scout, I can show myself that my hard work and perseverance can pay off and that I am only one step closer to reaching the future that

powerful imagery emphasizes the speaker’s own search for soulful connectedness to the world. As written in the second stanza at line six “And you, O my soul where you stand, / Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space, /Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them…” (Whitman 720) brings forth the visual image of a disconnected soul floating and searching through the universe for something to connect with to fill the void in the speaker’s soul. Whitman’s use
