Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scouting in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints follows guidelines from Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City. The 2011 Scouting Handbook for Church Units in the United States describes the Church's relationship to Cub Scouting and how to use the program as the youth program for boys eight - ten years old. It also explains the Boy Scouting program for boys eleven - eighteen. The keys to a successful Scouting experience are: 1) understanding the value of Scouting in preparing boys to live the gospel principles, 2) parent involvement, and 3) a commitment to Scouting by ward and stake leadership. Unit leaders in Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity, and Venturing need training not only through the Boy Scout training programs but also by Church leaders with a firm foundation of the purpose and potential of Scouting in shaping the lives of boys and young men.Although the aims of BSA and the Church are essentially the same, there are differences in the implementation of the program. Boys enter and move through the ranks based on their birth date requiring a different approach to program planning than currently offered by the Boy Scouts of America. Many Cub Scout packs outside the LDS Church plan their program based on the school year with Cub Scouts moving from one rank to another depending on their grade in school. These units plan for the boys to advance together and graduate in February into Boy Scouts, while LDS boys advance to the next rank on their birthday. Cross over ceremonies occur throughout the year and happen when the boy turns eleven and joins the eleven-year-old Scout patrol.Packs chartered by wards in the Church do not participate in Tiger Cubs nor do they participate in over-night camping even for Webelos; an all-day hike will meet the requirement for Arrow of Light. Recruitment, funding, and basic procedures are tailored to the specific needs of our stakes and wards.The LDS program defined in this guide utilizes achievements and activities that focus on the monthly core values. Because many of the LDS packs are small, typically all of the Cub Scouts meet together to work on rank requirements. Wolf, Bear, and Webelos activities are grouped together and align with the core values and Faith in God. For example, in September all three ranks worked on Fitness and Sports.Starting with a firm foundation of LDS Scouting, the Academic and Sports Program Guide plus song, activity, ceremony, and other publications are useful resources to use in planning a meaningful Cub Scout program. Using a flexible calendar and planning the year based on the needs of the boys, LDS units provide an exceptional Scouting experience for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts with an excellent record of advancement and retention.

Download or read book Moroni and the Swastika written by David Conley Nelson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist government was persecuting Jews and Jehovah’s Witnesses and driving forty-two small German religious sects underground, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continued to practice unhindered. How some fourteen thousand Mormons not only survived but thrived in Nazi Germany is a story little known, rarely told, and occasionally rewritten within the confines of the Church’s history—for good reason, as we see in David Conley Nelson’s Moroni and the Swastika. A page-turning historical narrative, this book is the first full account of how Mormons avoided Nazi persecution through skilled collaboration with Hitler’s regime, and then eschewed postwar shame by constructing an alternative history of wartime suffering and resistance. The Twelfth Article of Faith and parts of the 134th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants function as Mormonism’s equivalent of the biblical admonition to “render unto Caesar,” a charge to cooperate with civil government, no matter how onerous doing so may be. Resurrecting this often-violated doctrinal edict, ecclesiastical leaders at the time developed a strategy that protected Mormons within Nazi Germany. Furthermore, as Nelson shows, many Mormon officials strove to fit into the Third Reich by exploiting commonalities with the Nazi state. German Mormons emphasized a mutual interest in genealogy and a passion for sports. They sent husbands into the Wehrmacht and sons into the Hitler Youth, and they prayed for a German victory when the war began. They also purged Jewish references from hymnals, lesson plans, and liturgical practices. One American mission president even wrote an article for the official Nazi Party newspaper, extolling parallels between Utah Mormon and German Nazi society. Nelson documents this collaboration, as well as subsequent efforts to suppress it by fashioning a new collective memory of ordinary German Mormons’ courage and travails during the war. Recovering this inconvenient past, Moroni and the Swastika restores a complex and difficult chapter to the history of Nazi Germany and the Mormon Church in the twentieth century—and offers new insight into the construction of historical truth.

It covers Church history during the administration of all of its Prophet-Prophets since Joseph Smith. It begins with the succession of the Apostles after Joseph Smith?s martyrdom, the building of the Nauvoo Temple, and the trek to the west of the Latter-day Saint pioneers. We follow them through Iowa, Winter Quarters, and on to Utah. We witness the colonization of the state of Deseret, while the rest of the country suffered from Civil War. Then we follow events through the administrations of all of the 19th-Century, 20th-Century, and 21st-Century prophets from John Taylor to Thomas S. Monson. We become familiar with the early lives, missions, marriages, and callings of each of these prophets, seeing how the Lord prepared them for the particular time that they led the Church. We finish with a look toward the future as we await the Second Coming of our Lord. The cover features a beautiful photograph of the Salt Lake Temple, taken at dusk during the Christmas season from the roof of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

Download or read book The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy Haunting the Hearts and Heaven of Mormon Women and Men written by Carol Lynn Pearson and published by Pivot Point Books. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Polygamy?" says the mainstream Mormon Church. "We gave that up long ago." Not so, claims noted LDS poet and author Carol Lynn Pearson, who examines the issue as it has never been examined before. Any member of the LDS Church today who enters the practice of polygamy is immediately excommunicated. However, Pearson claims, polygamy itself has never been excommunicated, but has an honored and protected place at the table. It has only been postponed, a fact confirmed by thousands of "eternal sealings" giving a man an assurance that he will claim as wives in heaven the two, three, or even more women he has sequentially married during his lifetime. No such opportunity is available to women. Through her own personal stories, those of her ancestors, and the thousands of stories that came to her through an Internet survey, Pearson shows the power of the Ghost of Eternal Polygamy as it not only waits on the other side to greet the most righteous in heaven, but also haunts the living-hiding in the recesses of the Mormon psyche, inflicting profound pain and fear, assuring women that they are still objects, harming or destroying marriages, bringing chaos to family relationships, leading many to lose faith in the church and in God. Mormon historian and author Dr. Gregory Prince says of The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy: "Carol Lynn Pearson has hit a home run in her quest to illuminate both the damage that Mormonism's de facto practice of polygamy continues to inflict, and the route to a better, more humane place. Those who truly hope for eternal polygamy or who resent any call to institutional reform will be upset, but countless others will rejoice that she has shown 'a more excellent way.' "
