Mt Carmel Baptist Church Youth Organizations

Churches established clubs and organizations to provide constructive guidance for youth in the community.  In the 1950’s Mt Carmel Baptist Church, located and 3^rd and I Street NW, had a Boy Scout Troop (Troop 511) and a Drill Squad.  I came across some pictures of these organizations while looking at a family photo album and thought I would share this bit of Washington, DC local history.
