The Boy Scouts of America teaching youth loyalty, kindness, being trustworthy, cheerful, brave, and clean since 1910. Watching the youth in my pack has inspired me so much and made me a better person. Watching so many children and young adults grill from working hand-in-hand with each other. Showing the world every day that innocent young children can impact the world in a positive manner if they are taught to do so. Being in a military pack in the city of Las Vegas melting pot of many cultures we must learn to live with each other. We have some children with disabilities and we teach all the boys that sometimes people are different but they must still treat them with respect and dignity. In the world today we have so many students from different …show more content…
Being the cubmaster of my pack I have many siblings who are girls to include my own daughter that shows up to pack meetings and they work hand-in-hand with their siblings but they earn nothing they are just there to watch. Girls should be allowed because maybe Girl Scouts is not for them they would rather go hiking and camping more often. I believe the Boy Scout should push forward with the initiative and if parents wanna pull their kids out of packs and move to another pack that doesn’t allow girls then so be it but that shouldn’t prevent girls from joining. Every day people are on TV protesting for race equality, gender equality, equal pay for women and minorities, and a host of other things. But when an organization says we’re going to do this and allow girls to join all boys club those same people protesting have a problem with it because I did it involves their children. Children are born innocent they don’t know race, or ethnicity until we teach it to them if we never teach them not to talk to black people because they’re black they will never know the difference in color. My children only know some people made darker than
In 2013, Christopher Bell took the time to produce a documentary, Trophy Kids, in which he observed the lives of several teens whose parents pushed them into doing sports that they may or may not even wanted to participate in. More than 7.6 million American high schoolers a year participate in afterschool sports, many of them having parents who encourage them to continue for the sole purpose of receiving a scholarship in the future. Pushing young students to excel past their athletic limits risks their physical health, mental health, and emotional health as well as their relationships with human interaction due to elevated stress that results from the pressure. The documentary showcases four instances of parents who push their children
Trail Life USA vs. Boy Scouts of America Trail Life USA (TLUSA) and Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are two youth development organizations that share a similar mission: to provide young people with the opportunity to grow through skill development, outdoor experiences, and service to others. The two organizations have similar programs for youth. Both TLUSA and BSA offer activities in outdoor education and exploration, citizenship, character development, and service. The primary difference between the two organizations is their approach to values, beliefs, and program cost. TLUSA is an evangelical Christian organization that emphasizes a faith-based approach to scouting, while BSA is a secular organization that remains politically neutral.
In the book, Soldier Boys, by Dean Hughes two boys who are on opposite sides of the war tell their struggles and stories of battle in the War and how their two different lives collide together. The author of the book, Dean Hughes, has spent 7 years doing research on World War II and finding information about the war. Dean Hughes has interviewed war veterans, studied newspapers that were written in the time of World War II, and read hundreds of books like, “The Burden of Hitler 's Legacy” by Alfons Hecks to help his understanding of this time period and events. With all this information and facts he collected, he wrote the book, Soldier Boys. The years that World War II took place was in between 1939 to 1945 and around those years the holocaust

Imagine being paralyzed from the waist down or having no way to speak to your mom because the words can not find a way out Imagine not being able to react when your dad gives you a kiss on the forehead at night. Imagine not having the ability to fight back or walk away when you get pushed out of your wheelchair at school. This is a problem that many children have in today’s society. Children with disabilities are always being tormented by their peers.
Since joining the Boy Scouts of America, ultimately becoming an Eagle Scout at age twelve, I have upheld the oath, “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” Looking back 40 years later, I realize that my decisions and endeavors have continued to follow the same promise to my God, my country, and myself. With a desire to keep myself mentally awake and morally straight, and with the support of my superiors at my office in the Charleston County Sheriff’s office, I submit this self-assessment in the hopes of taking the next step in my path towards the Center for Homeland Defense and Security
Child Soldiers Chouk! Fffook! Fwoop! That is the sound of guns firing. Innocent lives being taken by those who are forced to kill.
Child soldiers are kids that have been taken from their homes, given drugs, then given weapons. They must live as soldiers. They are thought to kill, or be killed. Can you imagine someone burning down your house, then taking you to kill for them? There is much debate over whether child soldiers should be allowed into the US.
During World War 2 there is a large group of unsung hero 's that are still around today, these unsung hero 's are known as The Boy Scouts of America. The boy scouts at that time were a group of some 1,600,000 kids who would help with their community doing different things that would help the community. But during the World War 2 era they served as helpers for the war. They were working for the federal government and the Office of War Information. They would help by distributing posters around town to help keep the public informed and it proved to be a very smart decision.
Assignment page Video Where many children all over the world merrily and freely live under the protection of the law, for others, this is a distant reality, they live in a world where they’re battling poverty, stripped of their childhood and basic human rights are expunged, they’re the innocent victims of conflict, and war is made to seem their one and only duty, not to mention that these are children no more than 10 years of age. They are put into a situation where it’s to kill or be killed. The United Nations defines a child soldier as, “Any person under 18 years of age who is part of any kind of regular or irregular armed force or armed group in any capacity.” Since the past 15 years, child soldiers are being used in almost every region of the world. Unlike most children, who go to school, they’re abducted from their families and forced into becoming a child soldier, where living conditions are beyond imaginable.
In this day and age with professional athletes being at the top of the social spectrum, youth sports have gotten very popular. “More than 26 million children ages 6 to 17 played team sports in 2014(Rosenwald).” Youth sports are very popular because it brings the great feeling of being on a team. When you are on a team you feel like you can do anything together, and nothing is stopping you. There are also many flaws in youth sports.
You should only refer to a child’s disability if it is relevant to a conversation. You should create a loving and caring environment
Now visualize this. A kid, who wears a dingy, tattered military uniform, helplessly standing in the midst of warzone where the stench of death from all of his fallen comrades and enemies is everywhere. Child soldiers have become an issue when organizations such as the LRA, ISIS and much more out there are still aggressively recruiting child soldiers in secret to enhance their strength for their militant group. ISIS is believed to have recruited more than 1100 children and more than 50 child soldiers have died in the year 2015 from fighting for their Syria militant group (International Business Time). However, it takes two to tango in order for an organization to build up so rapidly.
In the year of 1910, the Boy Scouts of America were formulated under the direction of William D. Boyce. This particular organization for boys was favored by former presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, as the organization was held to higher standards (“Founders”). Recently, there has been a controversy as to whether or not homosexual leaders should be allowed in Boy Scout troops across the United States. Many are indecisive in this situation, but my personal belief remains firm. The Boy Scouts of America should not allow homosexuals to enter the organization as leaders because of the possibility of sexual assault, families that want same-sex orientation for leaders and youth, and the organization’s foundation on God.
Boy Scouts is built on the belief that good character, honor, and selflessness are important. During my time in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, I learned about determination in overcoming obstacles, persistence in completing a project, and the importance of living and working in a community. While working on many of my required merit badges, I learned about determination. I had to work hard to earn many of the badges, such as First Aid, which was among the hardest badges I obtained.
