Raising Awareness: The Girl Scout Silver Award
Raising Awareness
By: Tina Vu As a cadette, The Girl Scout Silver Award is one of the most important things to achieve in my life. This is an important step to help me build leadership and organization. My purpose for this project is to raise awareness for problems in the world, and maybe even discover solutions for them. Raising awareness isn’t just about educating people of what the things are, but on how you earn them as well as how you can stop yourself from getting such. What I basically did was find myself an audience, which was my family. And in this project, 20 of my family members participated. I gave everyone a piece of tape and I had them write one word that people needed to be more aware of. After writing the word down,

    For the whole group, they discussed different bread. We went around in a circle and asked every student what their favorite type of bread was.

    The next day, we will review the terms respect, being truthful, and showing self-control because these are words we may talk about on a daily basis. I will do this through a story or even role playing. I think words like civil rights and violence might be too challenging and too hard for them to understand. I believe that these words, acceptance (patience and respect), leadership (courage, bravery, heroism), peace (friendship and forgiveness), and generosity (helpful, friendship, respectful) would be more appropriate for younger students to…

    The United Way realized that the national Boy Scout of America policy that allowed discrimination against avowed gays goes against its own antidiscrimination policies. However the national UW permits local UW chapters to determine their own antidiscrimination policies. And that is how Larry Norvell (local head of the UW of Columbia) had to face the issue of allocations to the local BSA organization -- Cascade pacific Council of the Boy Scouts of America (CPCBSA). The central dilemma for Norvell is whether or not to address the discriminatory actions of the BSA and CPCBSA organizations and what the impact of this decision will mean to his organization stakeholders (e.g. board members, UWCW personnel) as well to other groups of stakeholders such as the donors, the agency heads (including Larry Otto, executive director of the CPCBSA), and the community people. The concern for stakeholders here is that ultimately the UWCW is around to assist organizations by providing funding to better the community as a whole. 100% of contributions go to agencies, as such the only people who will directly be impacted by a drop in contributions would be the people who need those the most.…

    “I don’t know if all Boy Scouts are gays, they could probably tie the knot in, like, fifty different ways.” Bo Burnham begins his song I’m Bo, Yo with those lyrics, and while it may be fun to make jokes about the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), their short shorts, wacky handshakes, and neckerchiefs all being prime targets, the issue of homosexuality in the organization has always been a serious one.…

    Setting a good environment for the group was the task which I found easiest. I began the session by entering the room and closing the door behind, this was the first environmental barrier removed as it meant that there would be no interruptions from outside of the room. This was not something that was planned or discussed it was just common sense. The second barrier that had to be solved was the lighting in the room. The lights were off this was something that was planned to show that I understood examples of environmental barriers and knew how to overcome them. For me this was the easiest part of the assessment. We face environmental barriers when trying to communicate with people every day of our lives so over coming barriers was not something that needed to be practiced. I knew to shut the door when entering the room as outside students were changing from lesson to lesson. If the door was left open this would have interrupted the role play, as well as in our scenario if people felt that what was been said was been heard by others outside of the room this could make them feel uncomfortable. The light had to be turned on so that everyone could see each other’s body language and facial expressions. It is important for all members of the group to be able to see each other properly because it makes every member feel valued, as well as giving their words meaning.…

    We Day is an annual "youth empowerment" event organized by the Free the Children charity. Held in cities across Canada and the United States, We Day motivates youth to take action on local and global issues. Since 2007, thousands of Canadian students have attended We Day events, which feature speeches and performance from global leaders, social activists and public figures.I think that my attendance at WE Day 2014 will have a positive impact on our school this year because I believe that if I go, I will be able to take information and bring it back to the school and try to make a change, locally and even globally. I believe that this is a huge opportunity.This conference is very beneficial because it is a student-lead conference. It allowed us, students to use our voice and speak up. At the video we watched, I realized how important it is to use your voice in a positive way to help people. You don’t only need to use your voice; you can get your message out in any way, media, arts or verbally. I learned that student voice is important because, we are the ones who are the future to making our world a better place.…

    Boy Scouts Maturity

    On July 1st, 2011, I attended my first campout at Camp Raven Knob, which was a six-day Boy Scout camp at a location in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. When we reached Camp Raven Knob, we were told to choose a tent in the order of highest rank. Since the upper-ranked scouts picked what they wanted first, a couple of younger scouts and I were left to choose a less appealing tent. Luckily, a young scout boldly requested me to tent with him. If I had not agreed to tent with him, I would not have been as courageous as I am today. He inspired me to break out of my comfort zone and become a more sociable person. That following week, I came back to Troop 244 with the motivation to encourage others to be brave, helpful, and generous. I gained more insight and contributed it back to…

    Next, I gave the students an opportunity to participate in the lesson. I held up picture flashcards that had different objects on them. The students had to raise their hands and tell me what the object was and the letter blend for that object. I repeated this process until each student in the class had a chance to participate. Once we finished, I answered any questions or concerns the student had. I noticed that the students were actively engaged in the lesson and seemed to have really enjoyed. Most of all they seemed to have understood the lesson with ease.…
