The Scouts attended a fireside given by the BYU football team. Players spoke and performed musical numbers. About 60 of the players are returned missionaries and Eagle Scouts. Coach Bronco Mendenhall and his wife spoke at the end. The theme of these firesides is always discipleship, being a disciple of Christ. Very few, if any, football stories are told. Coach Mendenhall mentioned that in coaching his team he is not interested in the advice in books by successful football coaches, but instead looks to the scriptures. After the fireside the players and Coach Mendenhall were available for autographs. Zac Jarman obtained about 5 autographs on his BYU hat, including from star players such as Max Hall and Brad Pitta. Assistant Scoutmaster Taylor Cline drove us all to Springville in his truck, so everyone was able to visit and talk on the way back from the fireside.
Scouts in attendance: Dallas Brown, Zac Jarman, Tanner Leishman, Tyler Rife (Varsity Scout Jeremy Eatough also participated).
Pictures for this event are posted in the troop photo album.
Adult leaders in attendance: Taylor Cline, Greg Jones, Dan Williams.
