Boy scouting is a group of boys who want to have fun and develop outdoor skills. Boy scouts also get to go camping and do other outdoor activities with their troop. Boy scouts even get to earn merit badges and other awards. I am in boy scouting and I really enjoy it.
Boy scouts have to plan camp-outs and other outdoor activities. We have to plan the meal and duty roster for the campout. Then we assign the grub-master (The grub master shops for food and prepares it before the campout). We also have to pack the troop gear to get ready for the campout. It may sound like a lot of work but when you are surrounded by all your friends it can be a blast.
We also get to learn outdoor skills like building a fire, or cooking. We learn lashing, fire starting, cooking, and how to use a axe, saw, and other sharp tools. We also get to help cub scouts learn new skills like these. It makes scouting more fun when you get to learn skills like these.
We also get to earn lots of merit badges and awards. There are eagle scout required merit badges like first aid, life saving, citizenship in the community, nation, and world, and many others. There are also different awards that you can get by going to certain boy scout events and camps. Boy scouting keeps me busy and helps me have fun in my life.
The Boy Scouts of America was first founded by Baden Powell in 1910. In 1911 the first issue of the boy scout magazine was issued. It was called Boys Life. Now all over the united states boys enjoy the wonder of scouting.
