Director of Girl Scouting 2006 - 2010 Cora Lee Palmer’s Statement.
"I'm Glad to Be In
His Service - One More Time". As the Connectional Director of Girl
Scouting, I pray that my service will be found worthy in the sight of
God, and acceptable to those of whom I've been chosen to serve.
Scouting (Boy and Girl Scouting) provides a unique opportunity to
guide our youth in the "life application" of God's Word to their
daily experiences. I look ahead with eagerness and dedication to
advance the AAMES mission for the benefit of our youth. Much has
been accomplished -- but there is much more yet to do. To God, be
the glory!

Director of Boy Scouting 2006 - 2010 Anthony Franklin Sr. Statement.
AAMES is prepared to take the lead for the development of our Global connectional Program
and to support as many of our churches as possible to become involved in the Scouting ministry.
Our society has left many boys and girls without good role models in their lives. Our children are the
most important factor for the growth of the AME Church. There is a vehicle to supply that
growth, namely scouting. Not all children want to participate - that's their choice. Scouting
provides this for our boys. The Scouting Program has provided me many opportunities to learn
skills and take part in exciting and wholesome adventures. It is my prayer that the AAMES
ministry based on African Methodist Episcopal principals and values, along with skills the
scouting program provides will inspire growth in Christ, Creed and Culture and attitudes of
our scouts. AAMES accepts the challenge to work with all that are willing to serve and to
see this ministry become a success for our youth and our churches. We as adults only fail
our youth by not giving our time and talents. Let's give our youth a chance to excel.
