Boy Scouts

Boy Scouts taught me moral responsibility, independence, and leadership. First, I learned moral responsibility through the Scout Law and Oath and by earning both of my religious medals. Second, I learned independence and ingenuity by designing and executing my Eagle Scout project, and I learned resilience on my two trips to Philmont and on my many camping trips. Third, I developed an understanding of leadership in my leadership positions, and later by serving as a teacher and an example for younger scouts. These things Boy Scouts taught me, and these things I will carry with me for the rest of my life. My moral responsibility will help me to make the right decisions and be a positive influence. My independence, ingenuity, and resilience will help me to create productive change the world around me. Finally, my leadership skills will help me to be influential in everything I do.
