Our Stake Young Men sponsor two campouts a year expressly and exclusively for the Varsity Scouts (teacher quorum - 14- 15 year old). They serve several purposes: provide a spiritual teaching moment with a member of the stake presidency, model how to run a teacher's age outing, challenge the boys and have fun.
This activity met all the objectives. Friday night President Duffield spoke about Fighting and conquering our Goliaths - sharing a great story about confronting a downy red-pecker, and seeing and acknowledging the Lord's hand.
It was fresh but not cold as the boys kayaked 2 miles on the Fox, biked 10 mile through the forest reserve and then brought it home with a 3 mile run. there were skeptics but we had a good turnout and people were pleased.A challenging day but one which the boys enjoyed and rose to the challenge.
