The
purpose of the Diocese of Brooklyn Catholic Committee on Scouting is to give guidance,
vitality and leadership in the spiritual phase of Scouting for all Catholic Scouts and Scouters of the Diocese.
The Committee endeavors to make the entire Scouting Program available to increasing
numbers of youth in parish units and in units operated by Catholic Organizations. Christ calls each of us to evangelize, and for us in Scouting that means means using the programs of the
BSA and GSA to bring young people into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
