Becoming A Scout

This is my first blog ever and I am very excited. This blog will be about my journey to becoming a boy scout. You might think of boy scouts as selling cookies and stuff but its not. Boy scouts get badges and they get ranked by the work they have done. But thats not all. Boy scouts do big hikes, over night camping trips, backpacking trips, make their own tools, and help other people. I am in the Boy Scouts of America program but for the Armenians (I am Armenian). At my first scouts meeting we met at this Armenian school called Ferrahian. We meet there every 3 weeks. Technically I was not a scout for the first 3 weeks but I have worked to become a scout. So now on Sunday I will get my scout ranking badge. I have worked really hard to get to this point, but this is just the beginning of my scouting career. A couple of weeks ago my scout troop and I went on a 6.5 mile hike in the Malibu Creek State Park. We hiked to the M.A.S.H set (a TV show). That was one of the biggest hikes I have ever been on. I navigated my troop through the whole hike with a compus and map. When we got back we were so tired that we couldn't walk! It was a really fun hike because I hung out with my friends and we did a hike. The next weekend our troop met at a park in Granada Hills and at the end of the scout meeting, my troop leader call me over for a master conference meeting (a meeting were the troop leader puts you up a ranking). At the end of the meeting I became a scout. I was very excited that I finally became a scout. This was my journey to becoming a scout.
