The ramblings of an ex BSA Varsity Team Coach on Scouting and specifically the Varsity program. My thoughts, ideas and concerns are in no way connected or shared in any form or fashion by the Boy Scouts of America or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who volutold me to serve as a Varsity Coach. Some personal rambling too........... (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster now that the Varsity Program has been murdered........)

Quote - President Thomas S. Monson
"I am pleased to stand firm for an organization that teaches duty to God and country, that embraces the Scout Law. Yes, an organization whose motto is 'Be prepared' and whose slogan is 'Do a good turn daily.' The Aaronic Priesthood prepares boys for manhood and the weightier duties of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Scouting helps our boys to walk uprightly the priesthood path to exaltation."

Where do you find these gems?
Try the old LDS Church website on Scouting.

I am not sure if they are still using this but these great quotes are awesome. I have another by President Monson that is quoted by his Secretary. I am trying to find another source because it is a GOOD one addressing Scouting and I don't want to perpetuate Mormon rumor.
