Filling a UIScrollView with content programmatically

Question

There has to be a better way to fill a UIScrollView with UILabel, and UIImageView and other content without having to define CGRectMake with a start position. Is there such a thing as a stacking view? Im assuming not really, but what is the proper way of adding content dynamically.

Heres what Im doing currently:

func configureView() {
    self.addHeaderImage()

    var scrollView: UIScrollView!
    var missionStatement: UILabel!
    var missionStatementText: UILabel!
    var history: UILabel!
    var historyText: UILabel!

    scrollView = UIScrollView()
    scrollView!.frame = CGRectMake(0, headerImage.bounds.height, self.view.bounds.width, self.view.bounds.height)
    scrollView!.contentSize = CGSize(width: self.view.bounds.width, height: self.view.bounds.height * 2)
    scrollView!.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight
    self.view.addSubview(scrollView)

    missionStatement = UILabel()
    missionStatement!.frame = CGRectMake(10, 5, headerImage.bounds.width - 20, 30)
    missionStatement!.text = "Our Mission Statement"
    missionStatement!.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 22.0)
    scrollView.addSubview(missionStatement)

    missionStatementText = UILabel()
    missionStatementText!.frame = CGRectMake(10, missionStatement.frame.height, headerImage.bounds.width - 20, 100)
    missionStatementText!.text = "Covenant United Methodist Church, as a companionate community, serves people through the sharing, caring, and reaching out in the name of Jesus Christ."
    missionStatementText!.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 17.0)
    missionStatementText!.numberOfLines = 0
    scrollView.addSubview(missionStatementText)

    history = UILabel()
    // By the time Im done adding things to this 1 view, Its going to be an insane addition problem to find the starting y of the rectangle
    history!.frame = CGRectMake(0, missionStatement.frame.height, 0, 0)
}

You can write an extension to UIView

extension UIView {

    func addSubviewAtBottomOfAllSubviews(view:UIView){
        var maxY = CGFloat(0)
        for subview in self.subviews{
            if maxY < subview.frame.maxY{
                maxY = subview.frame.maxY
            }
        }

        view.frame.origin.y = maxY
        self.addSubview(view)
    }
}

And also write func to resize Scroll content view, so make it scrollable if the views highet is bigger than the scroll view

extension UIScrollView{
    func resizeContentSize(){

        var contentRect = CGRectZero;
        for view in self.subviews{
            contentRect = CGRectUnion(contentRect, (view ).frame);
        }

        self.contentSize = contentRect.size;

    }
}

use:

scrollView.addSubviewAtBottomOfAllSubviews(textLabel)
scrollView.addSubviewAtBottomOfAllSubviews(anotherView)
scrollView.resizeContentSize()
