A good turn daily

As one of seven chaplains assigned each summer to the massive Philmont Scout Ranch, Elder David A. Wilson has little trouble fulfilling Scouting's challenge to \"do a good turn daily.\"Elder Wilson and his colleagues are charged with providing spiritual support to the some 22,000 Scouts from across the globe who visit Philmont each year — along with the ranch's 1,100 employees.It's a job the Orem, Utah, resident with the distinctive wide-brimmed straw hat has performed honorably for the past eight years. \"And I hope to continue for the next 30 years,\" he said.Counted among the thousands of boys who find adventure and learning each summer at Philmont are many Church members.

Fecteau, a Catholic priest and national chaplain for the Catholic Church's National Committee on Scouting, nominated Elder Wilson for the award.See the full story on ldschurchnews.com.
