Letter from the Leaders

2024 March 21

Dear Parents of Youth, Leaders of Youth & Stake Leaders,

We are so excited for our upcoming 2024 Stake Youth Conference and the opportunity we will have to participate in a Pioneer Trek! We hope you were all able to read the letter from the Stake Presidency. We are looking forward to spending this time together with the youth! We are grateful for the opportunity this experience will give us in strengthening our testimonies, and increasing our love for our ancestors, each other and the Savior.

A Pioneer Trek requires months of preparation and a lot of information distribution so please read through the attached documents carefully and thoroughly to ensure you are well informed of the ways in which we desire to prepare the youth both physically and spiritually for this experience.

If properly prepared, the youth and adults involved will have the opportunity to be a part of an incredibly spiritually rewarding experience that will be remembered for years to come, and will become a spiritual anchor in the lives of those who attend.

You will find the following documents attached below:

1) Introduction: Introduces the Stake Trek theme and gives general information including upcoming Pre-Trek & Post-Trek events 

2) Preparation: Outlines ways to begin preparing the youth physically and spiritually for Trek

3) Trek Clothing: 3-page document with information regarding the required clothing that will be needed for Trek

4) Packing List: Full packing list

5) Stake Trek Permission & Medical Release Form: Required for each participant

6) Mosida Handcart Trek Site Photo Release Form: Required for each participant

All of the information from these documents (and more!) will be available to view on the Stake Trek Website here which is currently being developed, so make sure to check back often as information and other resources are added!

We will also continue to send emails to notify you of any important information. 

If there are any questions or concerns please reach out to a Stake Trek leader or a member of the Stake Young Men or Stake Young Women Presidency. We are here to help in any way!

With love,

The Stake Young Women & Stake Young Men Presidencies & Trek Leaders
