We started doing this the first year, but I didn't follow-through like I should have to make it good.
Basically,
we were going to put the following idea together on a poster board or
some other medium, and put it on the wall to remind the youth what they
committed themselves to do. My friend Marni put the process and
reasoning behind this well:
"[This idea] came from a marriage/family mini class I went to
at a stake RS night a few months back. They talked about their family
creed, and gave out copies. It lists several things things they will do
every day, things they will do every week, every month, every year, and
that they always strive to do. At the top it says, "As part of the
Johnstun Family, I'll do my part and help every member of our family, so
we will have no empty chairs in the celestial kingdom." It would be
cool to have the youth take time to come up with a Vanguard Youth Creed,
totally created by the youth. If they are setting the goals and
expectations together themselves (like 'Every week come prepared with
Apprentice inspirements,' 'Every month we go to the temple'), hopefully
they would be more willing and excited to keep them."
