Religious Bodies
lndorse Boy Scouts

Scouting for Negro boys has
grown steadily for the past Is
years until today there are more
than $4,000 Negro boys in Scout
ing. This number is increasing
as more adults Negroes are taking
the training necessary to become
Boy Scout leaders.
Churches are among the leaders
which sponsor Boy Scout Troops,
making available meeting places,
leaders and often financial aid.
Commenting upon the active part
taken by religious bodies in pro-
noting Scouting, DR.. Stanley A.
Harris. the National Director of
Racial Activities, Boy Scouts
of America, said:
Scouting is the ideal program
for the Church. 1t requires no
extra equipment Just a leader
and place to meet 1t helps the
church hold its boys at most
critical period. 1t trains them
for active leadership in the church
church Of tomorrow. 1t helps to
attract non-church boys and it
gives the pastor a group of train
ed boys organized for service to
the church. No wonder it has
been officially endorsed by SO
many Negro church leaders"

tional Baptist Convention, U. s. A
