What is the National Catholic Committee on Scouting®
The National Catholic Committee on Scouting® (NCCS)
is a church committee of concerned Catholic lay people and clergy
who see as their mission the constructive use of the program of
the Boy Scouts of America as a viable form of youth ministry with
the Catholic youth of our nation.
The committee, which is advisory to the Boy Scouts
of America, seeks to sustain and strengthen the relationship between
BSA and the Catholic Church in the United States.
Through interaction and dialogue with the Secretariat
on the Laity and Family Life (the formal connection between youth
ministry in the United States and the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops), NCCS works cooperatively with various other groups
involved in youth ministry in the United States.
