I haven't seen the word MISSION.
We are told that the scouting program is designed to KEEP the boys ACTIVE AND IN the LDS system and to open the pathway to convert non-member boys.
Our Stake Presidency and Young Men's Presidency actively state that the scouting program is to prepare the young men for full-time missions. My closest friend in charge of the 14-15 year olds reiterated this position several times - and he gave big bucks to California's Prop. 8 campaign to fight marriage equality. The Stake President gave the largest contribution of anyone in the stake boundaries. How do I know? I did a search on
http://www.eightmaps.com/Now our local stake and ward priesthood leaders are openly stating and encouraging the young men to go straight from scouting to a full-time mission when they must leave scouting at 18 years of age and are now eligible for full-time missions. And you don't think that brainwashing isn't going to start while they are tiny tots?
The LDS church uses the SPORTY activity part of scouting and intertwines it with the RELIGIOUS part of the Aaronic Priesthood indoctrination theology. Boys go off to father and son outings. They go off to summer camps with priesthood leaders who are also scout leaders. They use Mormon talk and techniques of coercion and doctrine mingled with scouting. They have their overnight activities that are Aaronic priesthood related with scouting activities. And then while gone from mom and dad they have group think testimony meetings in the wilderness.
The LDS have their agenda with scouting.
Sneaky? I think not - it's deliberate!
