Columbus slipping $$$ to Boy Scouts to help keep youth off the streets

The city of Columbus is shelling out a grant worth $25,000 to help curb violence in troubled neighborhoods. The grant will benefit the Boy Scouts of America in Columbus to help create troops in immigrant and Muslim populations.

They’ll narrow their focus on the west side and Wedgewood Communities with a main mission of keeping the kids off the streets.

The Boy Scouts will be teaming up with My Project USA, a nonprofit with similar goals as this initiative, to get even more traction.
This program will kick off mid-summer.
