Greetings Robert,
2. Do TWO of the following:
a. Visit a place that is listed as a National Historic Landmark or that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tell your counselor what you learned about the landmark or site and what you found interesting about it.
b. Tour your state capitol building or the U.S. Capitol. Tell your counselor what you learned about the capitol, its function, and its history.
c. Tour a federal facility. Explain to your counselor what you saw there and what you learned about its function in the local community and how it serves this nation.
d. Choose a national monument that interests you. Using books, brochures, the Internet (with your parent’s permission), and other resources, find out more about the monument. Tell your counselor what you learned, and explain why the monument is important to this country’s citizens.
Since you travelled on the colorado trip, there are two options that can be used. For 2d, Canyons of the Ancients National Monument can be researched online, along with what you recall when we went there. And for 2A, Silverton Colorado is on the National Historic Landmark. Just write up your notes and send a couple of paragraphs to me or we can discuss in person at the next scout meeting on 12/11.
8. Name your two senators and a member of Congress from your congressional district. Write a letter about a national issue and send it to one of these elected officials, sharing your view with him or her. Show your letter to your counselor, along with any response you might receive.
You can write up a letter and send a copy to me and we can briefly discuss. Also look up our two senators and our congressional representative. Bring a copy to the next scout meeting on 12/11.
I am kicking off Citizenship in the world very shortly, let me know if you want to work on it faster than the rest of the group, and I can try to sit down with you during scout meetings.
With regards to Citizenship in Nation, from what I see you have the following two requirements left:
