July 2012 Newsletter Announcements

YM - Boy Scout News
June was a busy month in the lives of the boy scouts in the Oquirrh 5th Ward.  They started out with the 50/30/20/12 where the scouts and leaders walked from our subdivision to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, then walked to the Draper Temple, totaling 20 miles on foot. The scouts then got on their bicycles and rode to the Jordan River Temple and on to the Salt Lake Temple, a total of 30 miles on bike.  Congratulations to Bro. Hare, Spencer, Tyrel, and Tyler for completing all four temples.  Congratulations also go to Luke, Ben, Dylan, Porter, Taylan, Nathan and Carter who made it to the first three temples and half of the way to the Salt Lake Temple.  A special thank you to those who helped along the way with food, water, and minor emergencies.  A job well done by everyone.  Thank you to Bro. Hutchinson for teaching the Citizenship in the Nation merit badges and Bro. Kajma and Tingey who helped in the swim checks and swimming merit badges during the month.
