Duty to God & Personal Progress

Duty to God and Personal Progress

Below are some of the value experiences and goals that the youth can complete by participating in Trek.  We encourage our young men and young women (and YW leaders) to take a few minutes and choose several or all of the goals below and make a plan to complete them.  Very few things are as satisfying as completing a goal.  

Try to maintain a positive attitude and refrain from criticizing or complaining during Trek preparation & while Trekking, even when difficulty or challenges arise:
o Personal Progress, Divine Nature #3
o Duty to God, Create a goal under Spiritual Development



Discovering a name to represent on the Trek (Pioneer Ancestor):

o Personal Progress, Faith Value Project
o Personal Progress, Individual Worth #5, or IW Value Project
o Personal Progress, Knowledge #7
o Duty to God, Family Activities #9


Sewing own Pioneer clothes:

Can organize a class/quorum trip to the thrift store to find Pioneer-looking clothing
