EARLY HISTORY (1910-1950) Until 1948, some southern councils of the Boy Scouts Of America were Racially Segregated . Colored Troops, as they were officially known, were given little support from Districts and Councils. Some Scouting executives and leaders believed that Colored Scouts and Leaders would be less able to live up to the ideals of the Boy Scouts. The National Office began a program of integrating local councils in 1940, which was largely complete in 1948. RECENT HISTORY (1950-1990) SCOUTING IN ALABAMA TODAY In the 1990s, the Boy Scouts of America went through a restructuring in an attempt to reduce manpower, and in several states small historic Councils were merged into a larger ''supercouncil''. The new Greater Alabama Council is an example of such a supercouncil. There are eight BSA local councils serving Scouts in Alabama today.
