Boy Scouts of America LDS Relationships
In my area, each ward is a separate unit - actually many units. There is a Cub Pack (age 8-10), a Scouting Troop (11's and 12-13 years old, separately), a Varsity Team (14-15 years old) and a Venturing Crew (16-17 years old). We combine all the wards in our building, so that makes three Cub packs and nine scouting units (though in practice it's 12 because we keep the 11's separate). This setup, IMO, provides very little continuity. I understand they want to keep each quorum separate, being that we LDS people use Scouting to further the aims of the Priesthood. That said, I think it's silly; they could pick one of those programs and have the different quorums be different patrols. I think Scouting is the least-specialized (there are sports activities in Scouts, for example), but whatever, IMO they should just pick one. What sorts of questions do you have?

Here in Southern Missouri our stake has units with very good scouting programs and a few that struggle.....its not from the kids being interested...usually our problems come with someone fullfilling the calling of Scoutmaster.

The program is strong here in Utah, more so in some areas than others.

I have a feeling scouting is going to be encouraged more than ever in the church with Thomas S. Monson as the president of the church. He has been involved in scouting his entire life and has been one of its strongest advocates. He is Mr. Scouting.
