<p>Basically for the past 5 or so years I've been a boy scout, and it's been a huge part of my life. It's given me a mentor, friends, knowledge and experiences I will never forget. It's what has allowed me to discover who I am.
Would it be alright if I wrote my college essay about it?
I'm only a junior now but I'm already thinking of ideas.</p>
<p>Seeing that Boy Scouts has opened up many opportunities for you, focus in on one of those life-changing experiences. How has it helped you progress through life, and what has it done for you in the present? There are spaces on the app to list all of your EC’s, so generalizing here will not do you much good. Always relate the essay to a specific event in your life.</p>
