Ours is "Uncovering Buried Treasure"
straight from the Mormonad in this months New Era. We are going to do a
Pirate theme. One super
sister here suggested "Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, the Righteous Life for me" and I
know we will use it somewhere too. Oriental trading company has lots of
cute Pirate stuff. I am imagining the years being called, "buccaneers",
"swashbucklers", "land lubbers" and the like.

We gave our young women this idea, and they were so excited about it. We
too thought about using the Mormon ad "Uncovering Buried
Treasure", but also thought of making a real treasure hunt with the
seven values to find pieces of a treasure map to find an actual
treasure. I am concerned with concentrating too heavily on the pirate
part of the program.

This may not work for what you are thinking, but I did have a good
experience with buried treasure. We invited the young women to each
write their testimony with a stylus on thin copper (ahem, it looked like
gold, okay ;-) metal sheets, assembled it all into a book with large
rings, put it in a sealed container and buried it. We dug it up at a
specified time two years later (the girls would each have progressed to
the next class at least). As we lifted this "holy" book out of the
ground, we felt as if we had truly discovered a treasure - a modern
testimony of Jesus Christ written by his disciples. There was a
reverence among all the girls as they recorded their most sacred
feelings. Before we wrote, we read and discussed the story of Moroni
being alone as he buried his testimony on gold plates, praying that his
words, and the words of other followers of Christ, would work for good
upon the earth sometime in the future.
