Advice for someone thinking of or wanting to join scouts

 Advice for someone who wants to join scouts 

 

So you and your family and or friends are talking about joining scouts, do you have what it really takes to join an elite group of people and join a prestigious group of your fellow scouts when you have attained the rank of Eagle Scouts? The idea of joining scouts can be a combination of happiness, nervousness, and plenty of adventures to go on. You will learn many lifelong skills as you continue your journey in scouts. Some of those skills will be how to correctly give CPR and become CPR certified, how to become and expand your knowledge of what it is like becoming an outdoorsman, along many other skills.  If you want to join scouts, you must meet the requirements of being 10 years old and completing second grade when you join. If you want to join scouts but are unsure of where to join a troop, you could ask if your local church has a troop that you could join or ask your friend if they are already in a troop and if they are, ask them what the specific requirements for joining that troop are. One of the examples of nervousness that a new scout may experience is the time when he pr she goes on their first campout. While you are enjoying the journey, your goals should be to have fun, learn many skills, make friends, some may make lifelong friends, and hopefully obtain the rank of Eagle Scout at the end of this exciting journey.  Along the way, you will advance up the rank’s and at each. When I first joined the scouting/BSA program, I was feeling a combination of excitement and nervousness and this was because I was excited to try something completely new and also nervous because the road to Eagle felt like a long and treacherous road ahead. When a new scout first joins a troop, they will be the rank of scout which is the starting rank for anyone join scouts. Over time, the goal for them should be to advance up the rank system and at each rank, they must complete of increasing in difficulty tasks such as having gone on a number of camping trips , having done at least two or more high adventure trips with your troop, holding at least but not limited to two leadership positions which scouts can run for when they become first class, having a certain number of service hours logged into their service book, etc.

You can also  make other items  a t your own  leisure.  The metal working  merit  badge is an exciting  merit badge for the other reason that you get to work in a simulated real forge.  A forge is a location where many sheets of metal  are dipped into fire to create many items such as cutlery for the dining table  and other items such as swords among others etc.  As an assistant senior patrol leader, I have had younger scouts come to me during  meetings  and ask me what badge is the  coolest and most well-known that I

Why did I become involved in scouting

                                              I joined Scouts, BSA when I was 8 years old. I don't remember too much about my time as a Cub Scout, but there are things that stick out in my memory. I remember troop meetings once a week in the basement of the Church. They were not a quiet affair. Scouts, for the most part, is Youth Led. The adult leaders are only there to call 911 in case of emergencies (just kidding). For some reason when teens are trying to organize and teach and lead younger youth it is never done without a fair bit of raised voices. Speaking of raised voices, the Pinewood Car Derby event was like an MMA match, and the crowd loved every single minute of it and I don't know how we didn't go deaf. I had 3 years of derbies and I even won a trophy once and it was for the best car because I made it completely by myself. I don't know if you know this but some parents get a little too involved with making these derby cars. I remember some parents had whole wo

  Topic-Service projects      Some of the service projects that  I  remember  most as a scout are my other fellow  scouts conducting projects centered around building a walkway  at the local nature preserve , demolishing a rusty  playground  at a home for kids with special  needs , repairing a set of steps  at the local nature preserve .  A service project will  usually  consist of a scout  having selected a site of location  that  is in need of  repair  of demolishing  and the place that the scout selects  must be a  non-for-profit   origination .  Some of the skills that I took away from  some of the service projects  are  service  to other ’s and to  not expect to  receive  a gift or something  in turn expect the gratitude  of knowing that you a good deed.  Some of the service projects that I  have been to have taken a  few   hours to one to two days at most. The  service  project for demolishing the rusty and dangerous playground required that  my troop remove all the typical thing
