"Youth on the March" was an early American television program originally broadcast on ABC. The series ran from 1949 to 1958. It was a religious program hosted by Reverend Percy Crawford. The series was aired "by "most" of [ABC's] eleven affiliates". [http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/exhibits/Crawford/crawford02.htm "Billy Graham Center Archives: Percy & Ruth Crawford and the Birth of Televangelism"] . Wheaton College.] In each episode, Crawford, his wife Ruth, and their five children appeared. The series was broadcast live from Philadelphia's WFIL.

When "Youth on the March" was cancelled by ABC in 1952, the series was picked up by the now defunct DuMont Television Network for a one-season run. The last network-aired program was on June 7, 1953.McNeil, Alex (1980). "Total Television" (4th ed.). New York: Penguin Books.
