School is a big part of your life. You study math, science, language, and other subjects, but you also learn about yourself--what subjects you like best, what areas you want to explore further. You learn how to concentrate and how to find out what you want to know. To be a good scholar, you have to be curious and determined to gain everything you possibly can from your education. You're probably already doing some things that will help you earn this badge: going to school, earning the best grades you can, and behaving well in school. |
| Do Three of These: |
| 1. Have a good record in attendance, behavior, and grades at school. |
| 2. Take an active part in a school activity or service. |
| 3. Discuss with your teacher or principal the value of having an education. |
| 4. List in writing some important things you can do now because of what you've learned in school. |
| And Do Three of These: |
| 5. Trace through history the different kinds of schools. Tell how our present public school system grew out of these early schools. |
| 6. Make a chart showing how your school system is run. |
7. Ask a parent and five other grown-ups these questions:
|
| 8. List and explain some of the full-time positions in the education field. |
| 9. Help another student with schoolwork. Tell what you did to help. |
| When you pass each requirement, ask your teacher, principal, den leader or counselor to initial your Scholar scoreboard. |
