Good morning, Provo.

After The Church ended its 105-year partnership with Scouting in 2019, Utah troops changed to a model where youths join on their own and more community sponsors lead them.

In 2024, the Crossroads of the West Council reported 6,107 youth participants—a 3.35% increase over last year with about 20% being girls.

Today, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Church when a lawsuit by former members seeking judicial review of church teachings was dismissed—supporters at Becket said the decision is a win for upholding First Amendment protections for religious self-governance—ensuring that church doctrine remains a matter of faith rather than court ruling.

John Shin, a Utah violinist originally from South Korea, was detained by immigration officials on Aug.

18 and is held in a federal detention center in Aurora—supporters launched a letter campaign and held a benefit concert on Monday, and his lawyer said he will seek bond at a hearing next Tuesday.

BYU beat Portland State last Saturday after John Taumoepeau blocked a 57-yard field goal attempt, Cody Hagen ran 57 yards for a touchdown on an end-around, and Will Ferrin extended his field goal streak to 18 with a 56-yard kick—helping secure a shutout win.
