The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) was the first partner to sponsor Scouting in the United States, adopting the program in 1913 as part of its Mutual Improvement Association program for young men.[1]

Today, the LDS church continues to be a major partner of scouting, by encouraging each of its congregational units (known as wards) to sponsor both a Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop.
