Hieroglyphics Trail

The Deacons went to the Hieroglyphics Trail.

Bowling

The priests and laurels headed down to the campus of ASU to show off their bowling skills. They bowled one normal game and then bowled a game of M&M bowling. Rules for M&M bowling: Before each person bowls they draw an M&M and depending on the color, it tells them how they have to bowl that frame....opposite hand, eyes closed, sitting down, granny bowl, trick shots, and if you were lucky normal bowl. It was a lot of fun, and how could it not be...pizza and bowling always make for a good night.

Jordan and Riley C, Keith B, Stephen J, Braden G.
Leaders: Aubrey L, Scott W, and Rocky C. (Rocky took the group picture.)

Leadership Training

Kevin J, Drew J, and Hunter P.

The youth leaders got together to be trained by the Bishopric. They went out to a local farm/barn where the youth played leadership games and had challenges on how to work together and overcome obstacles. They did really well and learned how to apply that to real life and how to improve on their leadership. They had prime rib catered in for dinner and dutch oven dessert. It was a great afternoon evening and want to thank the Bishopric for a wonderful experience.

Court of Honor

The Court of Honor was more like an evening of recognition. Jamie D. picked up the awards last week. Unfortunately he accidentally left the awards on the hood of his car when he drove away from the scout shop.

Each patrol performed a skit and they were hilarious. Congratulations scouts! Click here for more photos of the Court of Honor.

Compass Course

The 11 year olds went into the desert East of our neighborhood. They did a one mile orienteering course with their compasses. Chaz brought extra shade with his super sweet hat!

Scouts: Mikael H, Caleb P, Devondre W, and Caleb H.
Leaders: Jared C, Chaz L, and Andy D.


"The Calebs" (Caleb H and Caleb P) learned how to orient a compass to find waypoints on the course. Mikael is sighting the next waypoint with his telescope.


On the course Mikael and Devondre came across loads of spent ammo shells. They collected them and practiced the outdoor code by picking up litter.

Eagle Project

Skyler B. is working on his Eagle Project. He is making activity kits for the cancer kids at Banner Desert Hospital.

He is including a CD of himself playing his guitar. The kits will have all kinds of activities, books, games, and toys to brighten their days while in the hospital.

Skyler is putting the kits together this Saturday with his extended family. He will present the kits to the hospital sometime next month.

Longboards

The Priests made long boards. The last picture is the press used to bend the plywood. They started putting the boards in the press on the 14th of February and each board needed to be in the press for 24 hours. Every night a boy would come over to place their board in the press. On the 21st they went to Fred C's uncle’s shop to cut out the designs. During Spring break they took the boards to Ironwood crossing and tested them out in a park there.
