Track your Duty to
God: http://etrailtoeagle.com/dtg
a.
Share what you’ve
gained or learned in quorum meetings or at scouts & mutual when
appropriate. i.Don’t forget you can share both the good and the bad--after all,
we often gain the most in life from from
experiences that stretch us
and are hard --what counts
most is how you grow from it As you share your progress with us, we will
record a tracking of all of you do at http://etrailtoeagle.com/dtg To see YOUR OWN PROGRESS as we have it recorded there, you’ll
need to provide an email address to one of your leaders so an invitation from
etrailtoeagle.com can be sent to you to set up your account. (This is
also available for tracking your own Scouting progress.) Lead as the Lord
directs: Review the Aaronic Priesthood portion of the
Handbook ·
Using the Gospel
Library app, go to WORK section and find Leadership,
then click on Handbook 2: Administering the Church
(alternate link requiring login) ·
Then go to Section 8: Aaronic Priesthood ·
For your
responsibilities as Aaronic Priesthood leaders in the Quorum, see Section 8.3.2: Quorum Presidencies and Assistants to
the Bishop in the Priests Quorum Know and be a part of
planning our Events: Here is what we use to communicate our events
(in order of preference/priority): 1.
Google
calendar - look for “General Youngmens”
on your google calendar - if it’s not there, provide your leader(s) with your
email address (even better, your gmail address
if you have one), and we will add you to the access. If you use Apple, we’ll
try to post some tips out for the best way for you to use Google calendars
too. 2.
Facebook group - (Created for the Boy
Scout Troop) If your parents support using Facebook (we respect the decision
of some families not to), please add one of the leaders at least temporarily
as a “Friend” on facebook long enough for them to
add you into the private group (we do it for security reasons). This group is
great for posting what we’re doing and what’s upcoming as well as sharing
ideas and information. 3.
Text messages - we sometimes try to send texts as quick reminders… we might
get more into using something like www.remind.com that a lot of teachers and
coaches use in the future. If you want to get texts, ensure your leader(s) have
your cell phone number Celebrate the blessing
of having a Temple:
LOCAL HELP FOR EAGLE SCOUT CANDIDATES First step: download the Eagle
Scout Project Workbook (follow the links to the PDF file to
download—NOTE: it’s a PDF that you can fill out on your computer and save the
file as you go with all your information typed into it—we definitely
recommend doing that over handwriting. You’ll just need to print it out for
physical signatures.) Ideas on which organizations you might contact about providing
service in the form of an Eagle Project. REMEMBER YOUR PURPOSE: You want to be able to lead and provide a service which leaves
a lasting impact for the organization you’re doing it for. (Routine
clean-up efforts do not count. However, trail repair could count.) OUR EAGLE SCOUT “CONSULTANT”
(called Council or District Project Approval Representative
in your workbook) is Brother Wayas in the Surprise North Stake. His purpose is to help
guide you along the process of becoming an Eagle Scout. You can look him up
by searching the “stake” directory with your LDS.org login at http://www.lds.org/directory WHAT YOU NEED TO TRY TO DO…
SOME ORGANIZATIONS YOU MIGHT TRY TO CONTACT:
So now that we’ve named off most of the
Regional parks, don’t let it make you think that’s all that’s out there.
I know that last year some scouts did some work for the nearby Wittman
food bank, Saguaro Jane’s . There are many other organizations out there. If you’ll
recall that was one of the points of the Citizenship in the Community merit
badge requirement, to get familiar with one of these organizations that
provide a service in your community. You can find out about more of these kinds of
organizations by talking to your local city council member. Ours in this
neighborhood is John Williams--he’s a great guy, and participated 5 years back when we had a
Sierra Montana community clean-up service. IF THE ORGANIZATIONS NEED SOME IDEAS OF
PROJECTS YOU COULD DO, HELP TRIGGER THEIR THINKING

“First,
to young men of the Aaronic Priesthood and to you young men who are becoming
elders: I repeat what prophets have long taught—that every worthy, able young
man should prepare to serve a mission. Missionary service is a priesthood
duty—an obligation the Lord expects of us who have been given so very much.
Young men, I admonish you to prepare for service as a missionary.
Keep yourselves clean and pure and
worthy to represent the Lord. Maintain your health and strength.
Study the scriptures.
Where such is available, participate in seminary or institute.
Familiarize yourself with the missionary handbook Preach My Gospel.” President Thomas S. Monson, General Conference Opening
Address, October 2010 JANUARY FOCUS: Get to know your Dad! 1.
Trust your father 2.
Take an interest in your father’s
life 3.
Ask you father for advice As a reminder, download this picture (shown below) to your phone or tablet and
make it your background!
