Wow, it’s hard to believe that I have been in Scouts since I was in first grade. I’m now a Boy Scout and working towards my First Class rank. I’m also working on my Communications merit badge, where we learn how to better communicate better, interview people, introduce speakers and write things that make sense. My merit badge counselor is Mrs. Pohlman. She’s pretty cool.
In Boy Scouts, you start off as a Tender Foot, then advance to Second Class Scout, then First Class. After that, you become a Star Scout, Life Scout, and if you’re lucky and stay with the program, maybe even an Eagle Scout, the highest rank you can achieve.
My Dad tells me that a lot of the things I’m learning will be valuable sometime in life. He says that things like First Aid, Emergency Prep and Fire Safety could all come in handy, or maybe even save a life. I just feel like it’s a lot of hard work right now.
This blog post will help me earn my Communication merit badge. Maybe some day I will even be a writer. Thanks for viewing this.
