I never said I was going to lie and I don't intend on lying. You don't seem to be aiming to help me(Your first post was kind of a jeer, the rest of them have been quite attacking as well imo), you seem to just want to insult me. You also don't seem to understand a lot of the things I am trying to say, so I would really appreciate it if you stopped replying to this thread. I apologize if those were not your actual intentions, that's just the way it came off to me. Thank you.A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.
If you're accepted into the Academy based on a lie, how can your classmates trust you to live by this most important ideal?
As for the studying for ACT/SAT.. The main benefit of these standardized tests are for college admissions. The main benefit of Scouting is not a box on an application. Scouting teaches brotherhood, leadership, and life skills and values. Being able to write BSA on a résumé or application is for a young man who has put several years and countless hours becoming a better young man.
It might not seem this way, but I'm trying to help you. As an Eagle Scout Candidate and Co2019 USMA Appointee, I'm looking at things from my perspective. Joining Scouts for the benefit and not the experience is a watered down version of Stolen Valor in my opinion. You put in none of the work but expect the rewards.
To me, not telling the whole truth is essentially lying.
Stubborn is not a good way to describe yourself. As has been stated, FFRs browse these forums. If yours happens to read this thread and see the things you've been saying, it won't be difficult to know your identity when you're applying. I'm just trying to help, friend.
