the scouts

The scouts have played a large role in my life growing up.
Being in the scouts really was a right of passage. After completing the three steps, manhood is achieved; The first being Tiger Cubs, then Cub Scouts, and finally Boy Scouts. Tiger Cubs was an introduction program. This was set up for young children, (in kindergarten) to learn how to work together. This will be important for the future, Boy Scouts is not only about one's self, but about teamwork. After Tiger Cubs comes Cub Scouts. Cub Scouts meet once a week. Children learn how to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, curdius, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Boyscouts was the ultimate test of patients. From 5th grade till 12th grade, this taught a child to become a man. Not only was the progress noticable physically, but also mentaly. Boy Scouts led up to the final rank; becoming an Eagle Scout. As an Eagle Scout, one is concidered a man.
