Dear Cub Scout Leaders,
The Stake Presidency, Stake Primary Leadership and I have been working to better support, train and inspire all our Ward Primary Presidencies and Cub Scout Leaders to be adequately prepared and qualified to serve effectively in your Ward Cub Scout programs, as they assist parents in helping young boys on the path of becoming righteous priesthood holders. Attached is a letter from The Stake Presidency expressing their feelings, commitment and support of the cub scout leaders and programs. A key element in helping these leaders is to attend the monthly cub scout roundtable training that the Alpine District puts on each month. Currently of the 100+ that are invited from our stake, less than 10 typically attend and 4 of them are Stake leaders.
President Livingston has suggested that a face to face, priesthood-directed discussion, from the bishopric counselor over primary, about this letter and topic, be held with all the Primary Presidencies and Cub Scout Leaders, is the first place to start. We urge that for at least the first few months, all of the adult leaders involved in cub scouting attend roundtable together and help develop a vision for how it can help and bless them in their callings. After a period of time and a proper vision is established for your Ward, then a sustainable divide and conquer plan for attendance at roundtable may be sufficient. I will follow-up with each Bishopric Counselor to get feedback on their discussions with the cub leaders and how as stake leadership we can give meaningful support.
Roundtable is typically held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm at the Hollowcrest Building, 10962 N 6400 W, Highland, UT. The next one is July 11th and then for August there is no Roundtable but leaders are encouraged to attend the Cub Scout Leader Pow Wow (more info will be coming). September will be back to the regular time and place.
Our intent is truly to help your Ward Cub leaders, boys and programs.
Sincerely
Ron Ward
Stake HC
