STAKE PRIMARY

As the Stake Primary visited each ward, we presented a sharing time on Prophets being called in their youth by God.  We encouraged them to study hard in their youth and be prepared to serve also.
    In January we held a state Priesthood Preview for the boys in our stake turning 12 this year.   The primary does the invitations, handouts, and refreshments.  The Young Men are in charge of the  program.
In March we had an activity day for the 8-12 year old girls under the junior prom decorations  in Orderville, at the Valley High School.  Our theme was "An attitude of gratitude."  We had 4 workshops that included, gratitude journals, where the girls decorated a binder and journal pages and were encouraged to write a little each day of things they were grateful for each day. Drops of Awesome, where we talked about being happy and realizing that little things matter. They each received a small vial of wild orange (helps with mood and feeling happy).  Putting on the armer of God, where we put on armer with tin foil, and a gratitude game about families.
Lunch was served and then the girls could work on their journals and make a kit of decorating things to take home.
We helped with the Scout Expo in April. Each ward had a booth where the cubs could pass off something they needed for advancement. Also we had the District Pinewood Derby run-off, awarding each winner a pocket knife. 
  In June, we held Cub Scout Day Camp at Clear Creek Ranch.  They let our  District  use their facilities free of charge and it includes the canoes for the lake, gazebo, large lawn for activities, etc.  Our theme was pirates and we made marshmallow muskets, treasure bags, which the boys learned leather lacing, canoeing skills, obstacles course,  and fitness games.  We served lunch and had a demonstration from the Sheriff Dept. using the drug dog.
