Scouting & The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Bishop Nathan Niederhausern Redmond 3rd Ward, Redmond WA Stake

LDS Church and Scouting Scouting was adopted by the Church in 1913 to help young men and boys enhance close relationships with their families and the Church while developing strong and desirable traits of character, citizenship, and physical and mental fitness. Scouting under Church sponsorship should become an extension of the home, Primary classes, and Aaronic Priesthood quorums. Scouting functions as part of the Church’s activity program for boys and young men.* *2012 Scouting Handbook for Church Units in the United States - Section 1.1

LDS Church and Scouting Scouting is an integral part of Church young men program Part of the activity program of the Aaronic Priesthood Young men receive Aaronic (preparatory) Priesthood at age 12 Deacon: 12-14 year old Teacher: 14-15 year old Priest: 16-18 year old Religious scouting award for LDS Scouts Faith in God On My Honor
