Rosemary M. Wixom, Primary general president, has said: “Scouting builds confidence in boys by creating opportunities for service and character–developing experiences. Memories are created as boys gather for Scout meetings and events. There is a sense of unified respect for God and their country as they practice leadership skills and develop a moral compass for the future.

“Scouting contributes to a boy’s preparation to hold the priesthood of God. Scout leaders have a sacred responsibility. They help boys learn Scouting principles that also help them live the gospel. We thank each leader as they foster faith in Christ and prepare boys to make temple covenants and become a missionary, husband and father.”
