Churches established clubs and organizations to provide constructive guidance for youth in the community. In the 1950’s Mt Carmel Baptist Church, located and 3rd 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.
