Summary: Eagle Scout Service Project

219 Words1 Page

In my junior year of high school, I led the planning, design, and construction of a boardwalk trail over community wetlands. Of the numerous collaborative efforts Scouting has afforded me, this Eagle Scout Service Project was the most complex and gratifying. In addition to construction management, I learned three things from collaborating with the individuals involved: each person brings a particular approach to problem-solving, each person brings strength of expertise in different areas, and each person may bring a different view of the world that might restrict using “apparent” direct solutions to problems. One situation where I learned to be adaptable and draw on the strengths of others ideas was when building the components of the boardwalk.

  • What It Means To Be An Eagle Scout (Essay)

    239 Words  | 1 Pages

    I’ve been asked what it means to be an Eagle scout, but I can’t properly tell you what an Eagle scout is without explaining how it feels, and how to get there. When you earn your Eagle, you get a feeling of accomplishment, and that you have finally met that goal. But there’s more to it than that. You look back on your Eagle project, your scouting experience, all of your schooling, your home life, church events, and you realize that it isn’t something you’ve done on your own. You realize that every scout master, every senior patrol leader, every teacher, every pastor, and especially your parents, have influenced you to become an Eagle.

  • Persuasive Essay On Boy Scoutss

    The boy scouts for more than 100 years has been a masculine organization, many girls had applied to this program but they were rejected so it has made many women feel discriminated against by this, and dedicated their life to the fight against discrimination. But there are also girl scouts that is also an organization only for women, and in other words, men are also discriminated by this organization because man also cannot form part of this group. I do not see the need to fight by each other’s if each gender has its own organization. Finally the goal or dream of many people who fought so that this organization can accepts the girls was achieved, because now girls can be part of the boy scouts, now it will be a mixed program.

    “One way to observe synergy in an organization is to observe the combined efforts of individuals working together. Synergy can result from the efforts of people serving on committees or teams. By combining their knowledge, insights, and ideas, groups often make better decisions than would have been made by the group members acting independently. Positive synergy resulting from group decisions may well include the generation of more ideas, more creative solutions, increased acceptance of the decision by group members, and increased opportunity for the expression of diverse opinion (Gale,2009, p. 918).” Having a group that comes from diverse backgrounds and different walks of life can bring positive insight and new ideas into a group project.
