Return to Virtue Hike

One of the requirements for the 1st year girls at Girl's Camp is to go on a 3 mile hike. I got to go with them - this was no "easy" hike either - I would rank it as a moderate hike. The girls did great though. Tessa and Kristin also went on the hike since they were first year counselors.

My friend Marsha was one of the hike specialists at camp. She was inspired by the Young Women's General Presidency who when called to serve hiked up to Ensign Point in Utah and carried a Banner of Virtue with them. The YW program has since added the Virtue Value and the color is Gold.

We took a gold bandana on the hike with us and when we were up at a beautiful view point at lunch the girls were each asked to commit to being a Women of Virtue and to sign their name to the banner.

The scarf was then tied to a stick and the girls carried it through the rest of the hike.

I loved walking behind the group and watching them carry the banner.
