Young Men update (9-29-2015)

Hi everyone!

We have one of the most anticipated activities of the year coming up tomorrow night!

This Wednesday we are have a combined YW/YM activity--THE AMAZING RACE! Please be at the church at 6:30 sharp.

Two more important items:

-Wed,. Oct. 7 is a stake youth fireside. The fireside will consist of having the Bishops from all 8 wards form a panel and answer questions texted to them by youth of the stake. Please let your youth know the number (715-600-8499), and let them know all questions will be kept anonymous. No need to put their names.

-The local wards are in charge of youth conference next year. We have done both early year (January) and mid-year (summer) conferences before, and in talking with Bishop's Youth Council this past Sunday, it appears the consensus was to try to have it in January 2016.

We are trying to determine the best dates. Please reply back with any dates (Friday/Sat.) that DO NOT work for your young man (due to athletics, etc.). The options we are looking at include these dates:

8/9

15/16

22/23

29/30

Thanks!

HELP NEEDED at tomorrow night's activity

Hi everyone!

I was texting with Bishop Anderson recently about tomorrow night's activity (Friends of Scouting), and we could really use Fathers tomorrow evening to accompany their sons and other young men on routes. 

We will have adult YM leaders as well, but more adults can be utilized. Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Hello everyone!

This Wednesday is ETIQUETTE NIGHT at the church!

It is combined YW/YM, and we are excited to have Lance Nebeker cook a great meal for us all as we learn the proper etiquette during mealtime. Come hungry!

Please be there at 6:00 to help set up chairs, etc. We'll start at 6:45. Sunday dress is requested.

Joe, Ben, and Caden: I am working with Bishop Anderson to get the merit badge dates you need to finish your Eagle paperwork. 

Thanks everyone!

Young Men update (8-26-2015)

Hello everyone!

We'll see you this Wednesday at 7:00 at the church.

We've got Scouts planned. Matt Lingwall will be covering some cooking merit badge requirements.

Joe, Ben, and Caden: Please bring your Eagle paperwork and we'll see if we can knock out additional items there.

Thanks!

Young Men update (8-16-2015)

Hi everyone!

1-We'll see you this Wednesday at 7:00 at the church for the STAKE POOL PARTY!

We'll meet there and travel to 8125 S 2200 W. Snacks and drinks at the pool! Bring trunks and a towel.

2-Sorry, but this is the third and final time I will send this as a reminder. These are the merit badge updates (for boys and parents):

Collections merit badge (update by Gary Nebeker)--all combined group work has been finished. Each boy needs to define, build or expand their collection. Then work with Bob Stahl to get it signed off.

Digital technology merit badge (update by Steve Walker)--Started last spring and finished up the class work and demonstrations. The scouts and I decided at that time that we would let them complete the school year before we finished. Now we need the scouts to do some book work. The primary thing that must be completed is the "Cyber Chip" which is an agreement to safely use the Internet. That is a contract between the scout and their parent. The scouts have the paperwork for it. When that is complete, I can work with each of them to get the final requirements passed off. I think we can get this finished up before the school year starts but I'll need some help to get there.
