Scouts work to bring Latinos into ranks

"We need to reach out to everybody, not just white kids."
-Paul Oliver, Balboa Oaks District chairman for Boy Scouts of America

The Boy Scouts of America are looking for a few good boys, preferably Latinos.

"These kids didn't have grandfathers, fathers or uncles grow up in Scouting; they don't know what we're about," says Bob Mazzuca, chief Scout executive for the country's largest youth organization with approximately 2.8 million members.
