That's why Scouting is a vital ministry. As we head into this new century, it is going to be critical for us and for all religious-based institutions to see Scouting as an important and vital ministry in every church. Sure, we United Methodists have 424,000 Scouts out there, but we need to have 824,000. We need to have I million Scouts. We need to have as many as we can because we have to help touch the world.
Scouts do that.
They touch the world and make a difference. Scouting helps touch the world, and we're about touching the world.
