Bishop’s Counselors • The bishop’s counselors help the bishop by overseeing the Scouting programs for eight-, nine-, ten-, and eleven-year-old boys… • Under the bishop’s direction, counselors should see that the various Scouting programs are organized as needed and that adult leaders are called and trained (Scouting Handbook, p. 2)
