Day 1

JULY

July has been a busy month for the young men, and many have been out of town on vacations throughout the month. We began the month with another activity for the Golf Merit Badge. We went to Wedges and Woods where we were given a substantial discount and practiced golf shots on the driving range and putting green. The youth experienced an exercise in obedience at the Stake Youth Conference. All youth were asked to come dressed appropriately for a service project, an activity about which many were initially discouraged. Upon arrival, the youth found out the service project was actually a laser tag event, and all had an enjoyable time. The young men have also been working on the Space Exploration Merit Badge. There will be a Court of Honor in August, and we hope to have as many as possible qualify for these two merit badges.
