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.

This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Says Elder Vaughan J. Featherstone: Here you have the finest history of Scouting in the Church ever written. The research was impeccable. It contains some of the greatest quotes of some of the greatest leaders of the Kingdom in this dispensation. It is a treasury of the greatest Scouters, concepts, philosophies, principles and especially History of Boy Scouts of America and the Church. This book is a classic and should be on every Bishop and Stake President's shelf.Kevin Hunt's multiple callings and service with all the dimensions of Scouting has qualified him to write this profoundly detailed book on the Principles of Scouting. You will appreciate the marvelous research back over the 100 years the Church has sponsored Scouting. I know of no one who has collected quotes from more Brethren, sources and his own personal experiences than Kevin Hunt has done.The Scouting program within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is indeed a treasured history to be studied and remembered. ...So it should be with our memories of our Scouting associations and experiences. Even though we will no longer have official church affiliation with Scouting, the legacy is there. How can we ever forget the training received, the recitation and daily living of the Scout Oath and Law? How can we dismiss the Scouting traditions so ingrained in us through family generations? How can we forget those special times around the campfire, the brotherhood shared with our brothers - fellow Scouts and leaders - our Scouting brothers? Scouting will and should live on in each of us. That is why this book is written ... it need not be the final chapter.All former Scouts, leaders, parents, teachers, trainers, and everyone who has been a part of Scouting should commit to keeping the Scouting legacy alive. We should each commit anew each day to remember and live the Scouting ideals in our own lives. And we need to record and share our Scouting experiences with our progeny. Who knows but what our Scouting experiences will some day be quoted as are our ancestor stories or even the stories and experiences of Nephi and other great men who have lived before? What will be our Scouting legacy that we leave behind? As noted already, the Scouting principles that we have learned are eternal. Though the delivery methods and programs may change, the principles will live on.It is in this spirit that you are given opportunity to read and study again of the Scouting legacy within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It truly is a grand legacy and there is much that is good and great as we celebrate the past associations and then together begin new chapters in the days ahead.
Download or read book Scouting Our Way written by Robert Lee Edmonds and published by Eight Eleven Press. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scouting Our Way celebrates a century of the Boy Scouts of America's rich, faith-based heritage. It embraces the spirit of Scouting and renews the religious bedrock of Lord Robert S.S. Baden-Powell's pioneering experiment in shaping good character in youth and preparing them to do their best. His founding moral principles and ideals embodied in the Boy Scouts of America's Oath and Law are brilliantly illuminated in the book through prayers and devotions from over thirty religions and denominations. Scouting Our Way includes an extraordinary selection of traditional and favorite Scout prayers and devotions arranged by program and activity suitable for personal reflection and group gatherings. There is also a prayer journal inside the book for Scouts to record their personal and favorite prayers. At the end of each chapter are Set My Compass interactive, theme-based adventures where the reader can engage with unique chapter topics through faith-building activities. Each Set My Compass exercise is an enlightening, personal, and sharing experience for Scouts to appreciate the blessings and value of reverence, duty, and fellowship. These chapter tasks are readily adaptable for age and program and are an ideal complement to earning advancement, service or religious honors requiring an understanding and the role of a Scout's duty to God. Scouting Our Way also features a journey of prayer in America from the country's foremost leaders and personalities during landmark events in our nation's history. Included, as well, are inspiring words from the presidents of the United States opening with Theodore Roosevelt to the current chief of state speaking on the importance of religious diversity and fellowship among all citizens in building this great nation. Scouting Our Way is distinctive in the body of published works on religious diversity and interfaith understanding. It is an indispensable resource for meditation and spiritual growth. Scouts, leaders, parents, teachers, and mentors will also find it essential for use at meetings, outings, ceremonies, and special events where people of one or many faiths come together to celebrate the spirit and adventure of Scouting.
Download or read book Trails to Testimony written by Bradley D. Harris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-04-10 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trails to Testimony: Bringing Young Men to Christ Through Scouting - President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "There is no more significant work in this world than the preparation of boys to become men . . . who are qualified to live productive and meaningful lives." And President Thomas S. Monson underscores this thought when he says that "It's easier to build boys than to mend them." Bradley D. Harris, professor of recreational management and youth leadership at Brigham Young University, and past member of the LDS Young Mens General Board, challenges parents and youth leaders alike to rediscover the spiritual dimensions of Scouting-to focus on the close relationship that should exist between Scouting and the Aaronic Priesthood. The author's 22-year professional career with the Boy Scouts of America, combined with extensive experience within the Church in various priesthood leadership capacities, gives him invaluable insights into the responsibilities that parents and leaders have in bringing young men to Christ. "The family is the first institution charged with bringing young men to Christ. . . . Working in harmony, the family and the Aaronic Priesthood should create an atmosphere where young men's individual testimonies can . . . flourish." Trails to Testimony is a powerful guide for families and leaders entrusted with the sacred responsibility of teaching and guiding the young men of the Church.

Download or read book Mormons Musical Theater and Belonging in America written by Jake Johnson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adopted the vocal and theatrical traditions of American musical theater as important theological tenets. As Church membership grew, leaders saw how the genre could help define the faith and wove musical theater into many aspects of Mormon life. Jake Johnson merges the study of belonging in America with scholarship on voice and popular music to explore the surprising yet profound link between two quintessentially American institutions. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Mormons gravitated toward musicals as a common platform for transmitting political and theological ideas. Johnson sees Mormons using musical theater as a medium for theology of voice--a religious practice that suggests how vicariously voicing another person can bring one closer to godliness. This sounding, Johnson suggests, created new opportunities for living. Voice and the musical theater tradition provided a site for Mormons to negotiate their way into middle-class respectability. At the same time, musical theater became a unique expressive tool of Mormon culture.
