What should zones be doing before Boot Camp?

The following are items for each zone to complete and have ready before we leave for Boot Camp.  Your preparation personally, and as a zone, will make a difference for a greater growth experience at camp.

1. If you’ve not done so, have an activity or meet as a zone leadership (zone leaders, district leaders, advisors).  And carry out the following:

• Provide training for any ZL or DL who has not received it
• Establish zone identity,  reviewing life of Book of Mormon person who zone is named after
• Create banner/flag/title
• Pick district names
  

2. Have a couple of introduction activities decided and ready to help zone members get know one another on Monday after the “Sorting” occurs.
   
3. Decide how your zone will conduct morning prayer, scriptures, devotionals – as zones or districts? Who will lead them? How will you bring the spirit and challenge a “Mighty Change” to occur?
   
4. Prepare a zone song and skit to practice with zone members and share at a Boot Camp campfire.
   
5. Review zone gear list and make sure you have everything needed.
   
6. Continue to encourage young men in your ward to carry out quorum prep activities. Help get them excited and prepared to attend Boot Camp.
