“Be prepared to be amazed as Scout Troop 759 heads from the streets of Harlem to the woods of Camp Keowa. Eleven year old new Scout Keith Dozier spends his first week at camp facing the challenges of the woods – the dock test in the deep dark lake, creepy creatures of the night, the daunting climbing tower, the raucous dining hall and the seductive Siberian sirens of the kitchen. With help from his fellow Scouts KC, Devon and Manny and wise Scoutmaster Sowah, young Keith faces the challenges and earns his place as a Scout. 759: Boy Scouts of Harley is a warm, tender, and funny family documentary about Scouting in an unexpected place.”

Barry Williams, Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Chairman of the Board, will appear August 16, 2010, 7:30 pm on Direct Connection on MPT to discuss “759: Boy Scouts of Harlem.”
