Cub Scout Pack #297 

Role of Leaders

As a leader of young men and young women, you have a vital role in helping them learn the gospel of Jesus Christ, develop testimonies, and accomplish goals leading to the Duty to God Award and Young Womanhood Recognition. Your example, encouragement, and caring can be invaluable to youth at this important time of their lives. Learn about each young man and young woman and how you can best help them.

Information about the Church’s youth programs is found in the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders. This guidebook supplements that information by:

•     Outlining the Church’s achievement programs for youth—the Aaronic Priesthood Duty to God program and the Young Women Personal Progress program.

•     Providing more detailed information about Mutual.

•     Providing information about how to develop leadership in youth.

We encourage you to:

•     Read the information in this guidebook carefully.

•     Work together with parents to bless and strengthen young men and young women. When you first meet with youth who are entering the Young Men and Young Women programs, give their parents a copy of this guidebook and encourage them to read it. Keep parents informed about youth activities, and invite them to participate when appropriate.

•     Read For the Strength of Youth and apply the standards in your own life. Do all you can to teach these standards to youth.

•     If you are a leader of young men, become familiar with the Aaronic Priesthood: Fulfilling Our Duty to God guidebooks for deacons, teachers, and priests. If you are a leader of young women, become familiar with the Young Women Personal Progress book.
