On 24 January 1915 President Heiner announced to the high council that George Kershaw, who had been serving as president of the second elders quorum, had moved from the stake and was therefore released from his position. It was also decided in this meeting that at least for awhile there would only be one quorum of elders in the stake.52 Two years later the second quorum of elders was again organized. Conway Morris was called to be the president. His quorum included all elders in the North Morgan, Milton, Peterson, and Mountain Green wards. The first quorum retained South Morgan, Porterville, Richville, Croydon, and Slide wards. One year later the quorums were realigned with President Heiner announcing that the elders who resided in South Morgan, Porterville, and Richville would belong to the First Quorum of Elders; while those living in North Morgan, Croydon, Slide, Milton, Peterson, and Mountain Green would belong to the Second Quorum of Elders. The two quorums were again changed in February 1921 when it was decided to transfer the elders of the Peterson and Mountain Green wards from the Second Elders Quorum to the First Elders Quorum.53 At the stake priesthood and officers meeting held 28 April 1918 a change was made in the procedure for the ordination of an elder. The stake presidency announced "that from now on any one being ordained to the office of an Elder would have to be excepted [accepted] by the intire [entire] priesthood meeting instead of being presented to the bishops department only as has been the custom during the past."54 Scouting Program The General Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association officially recognized Scouting for boys twelve to eighteen years of age on 29 November 1911. On May 1913 the Church was issued a charter from the Boy Scouts of America and thus became an official sponsor of the Scouting program. At the priesthood and auxiliary meeting held on 26 July 1914 Sylvester Heiner, President of the Stake Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association, spoke on scouting. He said they intended to effect a Scout organization in the stake and wanted the support of the parents, A year later Edward H. Anderson, Jr. was called by the stake presidency to serve as stake Scoutmaster. In February 1917 he was replaced by Charles White.55 On 8 September 1918 during stake conference Charles White was released and William Abplanalp was sustained as stake Scoutmaster. President Daniel Heiner also announced that they wanted to organize a troop in every ward in the stake. In May 1919 President Heiner instructed the high council to take up the Boy Scout organization in the wards they visited and encourage them to support the program. A special meeting was called on 14 September 1919 and all bishops and members of the high council were asked to attend. Several items were discussed, one of which was the Boy Scout movement. William Abplanalp discussed with the bishops the importance of organizing a Scout troop in their respective wards.56 105
