“Timeless values, fun and meaningful activities, and a gospel focus. That’s what LDS scouting is all about….. By dove tailing Scouts with the Faith in God Program, not only will you prepare the cubs for Boy Scouts, you will also help them prepare to receive and honor the priesthood of God and some day to become strong missionaries and righteous husbands and fathers. The Faith in God Program is not just one more thing to do; rather it is an important part of your calling. To help these young boys become all that Heavenly Father wants them to become…..As you strive to fulfill you precious calling, you will see the boys’ testimonies grow and you will gain your own testimony of Faith in God and Scouting.”
I love the scouting program!! Even when my boys are grown, I want to be a part of it. It is an inspired program and I am so grateful it is has been incorporated into our Primary. It is a wonderful way to teach the boys many skills like how to build a bird feeder or how to cook outdoors, but it is also beautiful way to teach and instill confidence in our boys along with values like honesty or compassion. It’s what I love most about the Cub Scout Program- that the boys have fun and without realizing, they are learning the gospel! If you have ever struggled to “dove tail” the Faith in God Program with the scouting program, watch this short broadcast on Faith in God and Scouting….a must for each and every Cub Scout leader!!
Short on time; just watch the “Leading a Gospel Centered Scout Activity” part of this broadcast!!
