Sabbath Activities #2
Christ Blessing the Children by Nicolaes Maes, 1653, National Gallery, London
Here’s the next installment in my Sabbath Activities series. One idea from each program…
(I gotta say, there’s not much in the Boy Scout department. I’m guessing I’ll run out of stuff in that category first.)
Faith in God:
Developing Talents requirement 3: “Write a poem, story, or short play that teaches a principle of the gospel or is about Heavenly Father’s creations.”
Duty to God:
Duty to God Deacon – Spiritual Development requirement 4: “Read D&C 20:38–60, and talk with a parent or a priesthood leader about the duties of a deacon.”
Personal Progress:
Divine Nature requirement 1: “What are some of the divine qualities of a daughter of God? Read “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”, 2 Peter 1, Alma 7:23–24, and Doctrine and Covenants 121:45. In your own words, list the divine qualities discussed in your reading. Think about how you can discover and develop each of these qualities. Record your ideas in your journal.”
Cub Scouts:
Bear cub scout requirement 18c: “Keep a daily record of your activities for 2 weeks. ” Also known as a journal! 
Boy Scouts:
Music merit badge requirement 3a: “Attend a live performance, or listen to three hours of recordings from any two of the following musical styles: blues, jazz, classical, country, bluegrass, ethnic, gospel, musical theater, opera. Describe the sound of the music and the instruments used. Identify the composers or songwriters, the performers, and the titles of the pieces you heard. If it was a live performance, describe the setting and the reaction of the audience. Discuss your thoughts about the music. ” (Another good reason to listen to hymns on Sunday.)
