The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has come out with another excellent video this week. If you haven’t subscribed to the Church’s YouTube Channel, you should. The video is focused on how parents can effect the lives of their children, especially the youth. Elder Hales gave a talk in General Conference on this topic and parts of his talk are included in this video. This is especially cool for our family because we were able to meet Elder Hales personally, if you will remember my post about it earlier this year.
Here is another article written about the new Duty to God program. It breaks down each section and each activity very nicely. It talks about how the new DTG program focuses on plan, act and share. http://bystudyandfaith.net/2010/08/new-duty-to-god/
Most LDSFamilies participate in the Scouting Program in their individual wards. Each LDS Ward has their own troop and patrol. So, as one of those MormonFamilies, we send our 12 to 14 year old boys up to Scout Camp. We happen to go to Camp Bradley Idaho for camp. At camp, the young men earn merit badges and have a chance to “rough it” for a week.
Each year the Stake Young Mens Presidency goes up and feeds all of the scouts from our stake. I have had the privilage to go up 3 times now and do just that. When I’m up there, I usually try to encourage my son to finish off his merit badges and sometimes we do something fun.
This year I decided to make a little video commercial. It was fun to make and will be a great memory of Scout Camp. This is a Spoof of the Old Spice Commercial that you may have seen on the internet or on TV. Make sure you take a look at the bloopers too.
