the Boy Scouts of America in their Christian education procrams will be undertaken by six leading black denomina-

tions.

Agreement was reached here at a conference last week, attended by leaders of the National Baptist Convention, USA, the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc., the National Baptist Convention of America, the AME Zion, Christian Methodist Episcopal, and the African Methodist Episcopal churches. The religious leaders met to explore methods of using the Scout program to help them achieve their objectives with

youth.

BSA officials report that the six denominations sponsor approximately 4,000 Cub packs, Scout troops, and Explorer posts serving between 40,000 and 55,000 boys and young men and women. Thousands of others also associated with these denominations attend units not sponsored by churches. Major outcome of the daylong session was the announced plans for a workshop program May 25-28, at a location still to be set, which will draw some 36 top Christian education leaders of black denominations. At that time they will plan a two-year campaign to increase the number of Scout groups sponsored by their churches and to strengthen their effective use of Scoutings’s various program possibilities. A spokesman said the workshops would plan national.

utilize Scouting's resources in their education activities’’; would pinpoint help which can be given leadership of similar local workshops; and would stress efforts to be directed at increasing the number of youth served by Scouting in their

churches nationally.
