to
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON, D. C. — A program
adopted by the Administrative Board
of Bishops, National Catholic Welfare
Conference, for aiding Catholic youth
work was announced here this week
by the Very Rev. Msg. Michael J.
Ready, General Secrtary of the N. C.
TTie plan calls for the establishment
of a bureau under the Executive De
partment of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference to be known as
the National Catholic Youth Coun
cil.
The bureau is to be a fact-finding
agency covering the whole field of
youth work, and a means to coordi
nate and assist the youth work in va
rious departments of the N. C. W. C.
It will assist the Ordinaries in the es
tablishment and promotion of author
ized youth organizations in their re
spective dioceses, exchange informa
tion and programs on youth activi
ties, and help Catholic associations
to keep abreast of developments in
governmental agencies dealing with
youth activities.
The Rev. Vincent Mooney, C. S. C.,
nationally-known figure in youth
work, has been chosen to be the di
rector of the National Catholic Youth
Council.
SCOUTING GROWS IN
DIOCESE OF RALEIGH
Increase of Five Hundred
Per Cent Reported by
Father Williams, Chaplain
(Special to The Bulletin)
RALEIGH. N. C.—At the meet
ing of the B i s h o p s’ Committee
on Scouting held in Washing
ton in November 1933 it was decided
to adopt the Boy Scout work as part
of the diocesan program in the re
spective dioceses of the country. The
Most Rev. Francis C. Kelly, D. D„
Bishop of Oklahoma City and Tulsa
was elected chairman and the Rev.
Edward Roberts Moore appointed na
tional director of the Bishop’s Com
mittee on Scouting. Since that time
the ground work has been firmly
laid and the various ordinaries have
appointed a diocesan chaplain to fur
ther this program.
The Diocese of Raleigh from the
very beginning has joined with the
larger and more populous diocese and
has done its part in furthering the
work of Scouting among Catholic
boys. In the very near future the
Most Rev. William J. Hafey, D. D.,
our beloved Bishop, will appoint a
committee of laymen to assist Father
Williams, the Diocesan Chaplain, in
the work of extending Scouting
throughout the diocese. One Catholic
will be a member of the executive
board in each of the twelve Scout
Councils in the Diocese. It will be
the office of these members to as
sist the local Scout executive in
making contacts and establishing
Scout Troops under Catholic auspices,
wherever possible.

SOUTHERN PINES TROOP
FINISHES FRST YEAR
SOUTHERN PINES, N. C.—St.
Anthony’s Troop, Boy Scouts of
America, with a membership of
25, only five of whom are Catholics
finished the first year of its history,
February 28 with a fine record ot
service. The tiocp has been most
successful, and has succeeded in
organizing Moore County into a solid
group for the good of Scouting, this
through the efforts of Father Wil
liams, scoutmaster, who formed ;
Scout Committee for this section
composed of leading men of Moore
County. The committee is active and
its territory embraces the entire
county.
CHARLOTTE ORGANIZES
TROOP OF BOY SCOUTS
CHARLOTTE, N. C.—After hearln
an address by Father Williams, dio
cesan Scouting chaplain, explaining
the Scout movement, Charlotte Coun
cil, Knights of Columbus, voted to
adopt the Scout program and pro
ceeded to organize the troop, the
members of which were received into
Scouting at a ceremony at which the
newly adopted Catholic Scout In
vestiture ceremony, approved by
Archbishop Curley of Baltimore, was
used.
On October 1, 1935, there was but
one Catholic Troop m the Diocese
Since that time Troops are now
organized in Asheville, Charlotte
Greensboro, Raleigh, Southern Pines
and Wilmington. Cub Packs have
also been organized in Southern
Pmes and Wilson. This record might
seem to the casual reader to be in
deed small, but realizing the great
distances between small Catholic
populations in the Diocese it will then
be evident that it is a most favorable
record; in fact the National Scout
Headquarters credits the Raleigh
Diocese with a gain of five hundred
percent, which is far in advance of
many other larger Dioceses.
A general meeting is planned for all
the members of the Lay Diocesan
committee members in Southern
Pines, N. C., at which a Boy Scout
Survey of all the Catholic eligible
Scouts in their respective sections
will be given and places where
troops might organized will be
discussed so that a work dear to the
heart of our beloved Bishop will be
furthered.
At the last state convention of the
Knights of Columbus, held in Ashe
ville, the assembled Knights pledged
them support to further this cam
paign for our boys. Were it not for
the wonderful help given by the
Knights in acting as sponsors and
supplying the man-power to run the
various troops, the present record
could never have been reached.
