A scout is defined by how he lives his daily life. By definition, he is suppose to live by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. If he lives by these guidelines, he is subject to several virtues: patience, leadership, and trouble shooting. In all my scouting experiences, these virtues have been blindly apparent and have served me well. Patience is the first and foremost of these virtues. During scouting experiences, I have discovered that in truth you need three kinds of patience. The first is

Well here I will show you a little about what this scouting movement is all about, the benefits that such a program can have on youth and the lasting impacts that this programs has had. You will gain valuable insight as to why parents should support and encourage their children to become and remain active in the scouting movement with the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the United States.

Choosing a military career, B.-P. served in campaigns in India, Afghanistan and South Africa. He became world famous during the Boer War for the defense of Mafeking, a small town in South Africa. With 800 men, he was besieged by a force of 9,000 Boer soldiers. His small force held out against these immense odds for 217 days -- until a relief column of British
In this world today, hate is becoming increasingly more abundant, especially as it concerns race. Whether it be an unarmed black man shot by a white police officer or the use of racial slurs towards someone, it seems like racism is all around us. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, it shows a little girl named Scout using racial slurs. Racism is so culturally accepted in the town that it’s okay to use racial slurs such as the N-Word that even Atticus, a lawyer representing a black man falsely accused
During World War 2 there was a movement from Adolf Hitler to make use of the generation to come. He wanted the youth to grow into strong individuals that would promote his ideals and passionately die for them, if necessary. I have chosen to research more into this youth movement. I want to find out more about the Hitler Youth. How it began, how it developed, how they were managed, as well as its ultimate demise nearing the end of World War 2 are all facets I would like to know. Let’s begin with the
One thing these organizations have failed to do is completely stop it and capture the people doing it.

They bring excitement to loyal fans whether it is a championship match or regular season. Stadiums and arenas are packed with fans supporting their teams, while players show their impressive skill and entertain the fans with nail biting moments, whether it is a buzzer beater or a last-minute goal. Now one might wonder what similarities soccer and basketball could possibly have. Soccer
have learned that it is okay to be nervous as long as I trust in myself and have the confidence to shine. Dancing for the majority of my life has taught me many important and applicable life skills. It taught me discipline not only over my body movements but also my mind performing Grand jeté or a Pirouette. As I got older I realized there was not much difference in learning a dance or studying for a test both involve practice and repetition.

War has been away for countries to display their power in the world through their military without considering the fatal consequences had on the families in other countries. . “Bourgeois morality often saw war not as a tragedy or even as a necessary evil, but as a healthy, invigorating mechanism of historical progress” (Blom 191). One step to end war and create peace was a peace conference in which none of

When an individual or group of individuals is made to feel as if the only thing that truly matters is the final outcome, then that will be their only focus. An example could be found while observing Girl Scouts. One of the most visible functions of the Girl Scouts organization is its annual cookie sale. If two girls from the same general area were to follow the path society has paved for them, they would end up fighting over rights to certain streets causing them both to take in a diminished

Chemistry and Biology ripened once I began to do more independent reading, and lead science projects with a group of classmates including in-class investigations. I am fond of spending my time outside surrounded by nature. I am part of the Italian Scout Organization (A.G.E.S.C.I) and my group regularly goes on hiking/camping trips in the wilderness. Creating improvised structures like a shelter, a kitchen and fire is something that I have mastered. This has taught me to explore nature, but to go off route
Success in any organization is often determined by how effective organizational leadership manages cultural change. People naturally resist change of any kind, especially when that change affects the way they work. As a result of this resistance to change, any organizational culture change is likely to negatively affect employee morale. Employees will complain and resist this change, asking why it is necessary. In order for cultural change to be accepted by employees, one must anticipate this reaction
In today’s world, social justice, otherwise known as equality and egalitarianism between the races, genders, and religions, is highly sought after. In addition to modern struggles, many movements throughout the course of history that date from even before the 1930s until just recently have been started to demand equal rights for certain ethnic groups.

The Stonewall rebellion has been considered the birth of a new wave of a liberation movement that changed the world for millions of lesbians, gay men, drag queens, and drag kings of all races, ethnicities, and ages. Yet, it was certainly not the first raid nor the first moment of protest for homosexuals. The raid at Stonewall was preceded by decades of police harassment of gay establishments. The first recorded raid of a gay bathhouse was in 1903, at the Ariston Hotel Baths at 55th and Broadway in
