“Faith in God”- the WHO and HOW of record keeping

I have a fun calling right now for my church… the Stake Primary Music Cooridinator.  Which means last night I got to help give a Stake Auxilliary Leadership training, and the topic was how to incorporate the “Faith in God” program into the Activity Days for girls and Scouting for boys.  I promised everyone I would post some of the record keeping ideas that I have either found or made.

Who’s job is it to keep track of all of these achievements, anyway?  It HAS to be a combined effort!  The child can keep track in their Faith in God booklet and/or on the poster, the parent(s) can keep track using one of the “individual” record sheet options below, and the leader can use either one “individual” sheet per child that can be passed on to the next leader each time the child advances to the next group, OR the leader can keep one group record sheet and just mark an “x” for each achievement that was accomplished.

The most important thing to remember as either an Activity Days or Scout leader is that there are only SIX activities required per year (other than the basic “say your prayers, read scriptures, attend church, etc.) which means that if you only did ONE EVERY OTHER MONTH, everyone would be able to earn this award by the time they turn 12!  And  SO many of the achievements are things that you are doing with your group anyway… you just have to make sure to write it down as you go, on some type of record sheet so that you can remember who attended that activity and passed off that achievement.  That is what this blog post is for! )

 This one is a jpg and it has the words “wolf, bear, etc.” but can be used for the girls just as easily.

 Email me if you have other record sheets that have worked well for you that I can post in addition to these!  And please share what has worked well for you in a comment below.
