I'm not sure we need data to back-up the assertion that the General Assembly is going to attract a greater percentage of young people than the annual BGCT meeting. General Assembly's are held in places like DC, Charlotte, Houston, Birmingham, Memphis, Tampa. In the last few years, the BGCT has been held in places like McAllen and Amarillo. When BGCT meets in a bigger city like Houston or near a seminary/university, I'm sure the young turnout is better.
I think a healthy number of young people attend CBF. Now, that doesn't make the organization healthy. As we know, these meetings - BGCT, SBC, CBF - don't turnout representatives from a large percentage of cooperating churches.
