The National Catholic
Committee on Scouting (NCCS) is a church committee of concerned

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

NCCS works cooperatively with various other groups involved in youth
