Troop Meeting - - Andy Kosorok's "The Ninety-Nine Names of God"

Grandview Ninth Ward member Andy Kosorok presented to the young men and women about the need to seek truth and beauty everywhere by using the Gift of the Holy Ghost and asking whether something is good or encourages us to do good. He is applying this in his own life in a project in which he is building one glass sculpture to represent each of ninety-nine names for God used in Islam. Excellent!

Youth in attendance: Clint Flinders, Max Hoopes, Morgan Hunter, Travis Rice.

Adult leaders in attendance: John Bingham, Shawn Hoopes, Greg Jones, Bishop Steve Rife.

Troop Meeting - - Climbing Merit Badge at Hansen Mountaineering

Tonight the Scouts attended the second session of the Climbing merit badge class. Each scout had to complete three climbs, belay another Scout3 times, and rappel 3 times. Those who participated this week and last week have earned the merit badge. Two Scouts who came this week, but not last week, will be able to get the merit badge by attending the first class or by otherwise completing those requirements. Thanks for Frank McIntyre for providing transportation out to Hansen Mountaineering tonight, even though he is suffering from a cold.

12- and 13-year-old Scouts in attendance: Clint Flinders, Max Hoopes, Morgan Hunter, Sam Jensen, Gunnar Legas, Travis Rice
