In the beginning of April Viddy (with the help of his mom...ok she really did the whole thing) planned a Book of Mormon readathon for the youth in all the wards in the town we lived in. They read - or listened to the Book of Mormon be read to them - from cover to cover in just 3 days. It was over a three day weekend and we started on Thursday night and finished reading the Book of Mormon on Saturday afternoon. It was an awesome activity. There were activities planned that related to what they were reading, food planned for all the meals and lots of snacks to keep the youth going.
Although it was a lot of work, Viddy and I thought that the youth who came really enjoyed it, learned a lot, and hopefully strengthened their testimony. I would highly recommend doing this activity in your ward, and if you need any info, ideas for activities, or things that we thought went well and things we would do differently next time, just let me know!
