Counselor Dress and Appearance

Counselors set the example for participants to follow in every aspect, including appearance. Your dress and grooming should always be modest, neat, and clean, consistent with the dignity adherent to representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Modesty and cleanliness are important values that reflect personal dignity and integrity, through which counselors represent the principles and standards of the Church, which reflect the direction given in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. Please adhere to the following dress and appearance standards so you will be a more effective leader and example.
