Scouts left the Church. Our boys felt it. This is what comes next — a stake program built around wild country, real brotherhood, and the Spirit of Christ.
Four trips a year. Real skills — rappelling, canoeing, survival, archery, fire-craft. Real fires. Real change.
Self-defense every Tuesday at the Stake Center gym. All families welcome — focus on the young men. Free.
Topics drawn from what your Bishop tells us, confidentially, your young men actually need. No generic talks.
Four campouts. Different seasons. Different terrain. Every one ends around a fire.
Pioneering · fishing · fire-craft · camp cooking
Rappelling · canyoneering · navigation · survival
Cold-weather camp · archery · shelter · fire
Canoeing · fishing · water navigation · survival
All ages, all members of all families are welcome — our focus is inviting the young men. The strongest man in the room is the one who knows he doesn't have to prove it.
Two adult speakers. One youth speaker. Topics chosen from what Bishops tell us — confidentially — their young men are wrestling with.
"No generic talks. Real fire for real fights."
Two private forms, 8 weeks before each campout. Sign your young men up. Confidentially share what they're wrestling with. We build the firesides — and the activities — around your answers. No youth is ever named publicly.
Background-checked adults. Activity-specific safety protocols. A certified medic on every campout. Satellite communicators in the field. No phones in tents. Every standard at or above Church guidelines.
American Fork, Utah. Eagle Scout. Search-and-rescue medic. Pilot. Owner of OathOps.com — Outdoor Adventure Training Headquarters.
