Trek Theme

Printable version

It has been a wonderful experience preparing for our upcoming trek. We have felt the influence of the Spirit as we have pondered ideas to make the trek meaningful to you in your life.

In September 1846, in Winter Quarters, Iowa, President Brigham Young called on a number of the brethren to return to Nauvoo and help the last of the remaining Saints who were being driven out at gunpoint. He reminded them of the Nauvoo Covenant, which was that they would leave no one behind. He then stated, "Let the fire of the covenant, which you made in the house of the Lord, burn in your hearts like a flame unquenchable!"

The theme of our trek is "Discovering the Fire of the Covenant." Accordingly, we invite you to participate in earning the Fire of the Covenant award by accomplishing the trek goals. By doing so, you will prepare yourself to understand the sacred nature of the covenants you have made and will make, learn of the sacrifice and diligence required to keep those covenants, and unify our stake in preparing of the pioneer trek.
