Utah National Park Council BSA Silver Beaver Recogntion

I can not believe this to be happening.  There are so many others who deserves this.  I thank those who nominated me for this recognition.  I feel I can do a lot more to help with a young man to achieve what he was sent here to do.  I thank you for this honor.

Pfc. Cody Towse, a Life Scout, returns home

Pfc. Cody Towse was a Life Scout. After graduating from Salem High School in 2011, Cody decided to enlist in the U.S. Army instead of serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because of his training. Cody wanted to serve in the military in wartime because he believed he could use his skills as a certified EMT and volunteer firefighter to save lives.

And that is what he did.

On Tuesday, May 13 in Afghanistan, Cody died from the blast of an improvised explosive device (IED) as he was treating another soldier. He will be returning home to his family either Wednesday, May 29 or Thursday, May 30. Cody’s body will arrive at the Provo Municipal Airport but the specific day and time are yet to be determined. Cody was 21 years old.

Friends of the Towse family are requesting as many Scout leaders and Scouts in uniform holding U.S. flags to line the procession route anywhere along the route from the Provo Municipal Airport to I-15, through Spanish Fork, Salem and on to Elk Ridge. Scouters will be joining members of local fire departments, police departments and the Utah Highway Patrol along the procession route. If you are able to help honor this American hero, please contact Julie Blaney for more information at 801-885-1007 or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/blaneyjulie.

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!
