249 Words1 Page

The most enriching activity I participated in during high school was my participation in the Boy Scouts of America. This program was enrichening to my life through the various characteristics developed and the miscellaneous skills taught throughout my involvement. One of the most important characteristic that was developed during my Boy Scout career was leadership. Boy Scouts helped develop this characteristic through its application during my Eagle Scout Project and the other leadership roles I maintained within the organization such as Senior Patrol Leader. Along with leadership, Boy Scouts of America has given me a guideline, such as the Scout Oath and Law, for qualities that one should possess in order to be the best they possibly can be.
