Varsity Leadership Positions 2013-14


Because many times things are lost in translation from Scout to Parent (OK, almost every time), I am going to do a quick recap of our Youth and Adult Leadership.  Remember that Varsity Scouts is different than regular scouts in that we have program ADVISORS who are parents typically working with their child on key positions.  If you really want to know how it all works, check out the attached file Varsity_Scouting.

Varsity Vision Camp Out - April 26-27th


LET ME KNOW IF YOUR SON CAN'T MAKE IT

We have an awesome opportunity to get instructed from the best Varsity Scout Leadership in the world.  Our stake is putting on a Varsity Vision Campout at the Lazy River Ranch in Nephi, and is for all the boys and adult leaders (who are program advisors or Varsity Leaders).  I need you to let me know if those dates conflict with you at all…I need to register soon.  The main instructor is Mr. Varsity Scout, and is an educator at BYU.  We will actually have a couple members of the YM General Board and maybe even a member of the YM General Presidency there with us.  Cool!

April 26-27…more info to come, but I need you to look at your calendar and let me know if you have conflicts so I can NOT register your son.  If you are a Dad and wonder if you should be going, if I sent you an email earlier today listing you as a program advisor then the answer is YES, we really want you there for sure…you will get specific training.  If you are a Dad and want to come because it would be awesome, you are invited, just let me know!

Plan on wearing at least your orange shirts, but we want you to bring your Class A as well if you still fit into it!
