Stake Youth Pioneer Trek

"Trek is one of those experiences that will never be forgotten. Never are the youth or leaders asked to exert so much energy and go through so many hardships. They got a small taste of what it was like to be a pioneer and to cross the plains pulling a handcart. They bonded with each other, they pushed their physical limits, but gained spiritual fortitude and strength. They walked 6 miles the first day up hills, over rocks and streams and it was tough. At one point the women were asked to do all of the pulling because it represented the time when many men were called to join the Mormon Battalion and the women were left without their help. That was hard. As they pulled the men sang "Come, Come Ye Saints". They had a day full of games and fun the second day. The third day they walked 6 miles also, which was the end of their journey. Anyone who is asked would say it was a wonderful experience. Hard, but wonderful."

Priesthood Encampment

"Scout Camp this year was a stake-organized Priesthood Encampment. It was held at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. There were many exciting activities to participate in as well as spiritual upliftment. They had the opportunity to zip down a zipline, cross a deep valley on cables, ride horses, jump off cliffs, as well as learn about missionary preparation and complete a variety of merit badges such as wilderness survival. Each boy was tired and exhausted after a long, active week, but each came home a stronger person physically and spiritually. What a rewarding time they had!"
