LDS Scouts
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) has incorporated Boy Scouting into it's youth religious program. The LDS Church supports a variety of different Scout unit types. These units are designed for LDS youth and operate differently than non-LDS Scout units. Membership in a Pack, Troop, or other unit is determined by Ward boundaries. LDS Scouts are organized into units by age in the following manner: |
| Age(s) | Scouting Branch | Primary/Priesthood | |
| 8-10 | Cub Scouts | Primary | |
| 11 | Boy Scouts | Primary | |
| 12-13 | Boy Scouts | Aaronic Priesthood - Deacons | |
| 14-15 | Varsity Scouts | Aaronic Priesthood - Teachers | |
| 16-17 | Venture Scouts | Aaronic Priesthood - Priests |
