Latter-day Saints are testing program that will replace Scouting

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will say goodbye to Scouting and hello to a new global program for children and youths next year.

Details of the initiative have not been released, but the Utah-based faith posted a video and news release Monday stating that work on the program is “moving forward” and noting that it is “being tested in locations around the world.”

“It kind of brings every aspect to be more spiritual and closer to Heavenly Father,” Meribelle Long, a youth who has been participating in the initiative, said in the video.
