ATLANTA -- The United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta announced it would give the local Boy Scouts $250,000, six months after it withheld the donation over inflated numbers of inner-city recruits.

The charity decided this week to release the money after reviewing the Scout's plan for improving Operation First Class. The program is designed to draw more inner-city boys, mostly blacks and Hispanics, by waiving registration fees, providing free uniforms and offering scholarships for camps."
