"Wherefore, now let every man learn his duty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all diligence." D&C 107:99

What are the Scouting responsibilities for LDS callings? The answer is complex because there are several key factors that affect the correlation between the LDS Positions and Scouting Positions necessary to provide a quality program for the young men eight to eighteen in the wards and stake.

LDS Scouting position descriptions are intended only as an initial guide. 

The purpose: At the time when a new leader is given a calling in the Scouting organization by the ward bishop, these one-two page information sheets can provide a basic understanding of the nature of the call, and enable that person to become effective more quickly.

Training will ensures a quality Scouting experience for the leaders and the young men. Register with the Boy Scouts immediately so training will be recorded accurately.

• FAST START--Available on-line
• Youth Protection -- Required every two years
• BASIC TRAINED--within two weeks
• ADVANCED--later when you can
