Scouts BSA Troop 248 for Girls meets on Saturday mornings during the school year from 10:00 AM to Noon at All Souls Episcopal Church, 2300 Cathedral Ave. NW, Washington, DC. This is located just off Connecticut Avenue between the Woodley Park Metro Station and The National Zoo.
For our regular meetings, you should arrive just before 10:00 AM and enter the door of the church that is near the parking lot. When the weather is nice we might have some of the doors open down in the patio area, which is also next to the parking lot. When our meetings are over we exit from these same doors. Always try to be on time, but don’t worry if something makes you late or you need to leave early – we want you to come no matter what! Your parents do not normally attend our regular meetings but are welcome to observe at any time. If they do not want to go home during the meeting, they can park their car in the All Souls parking lot and spend time at the Zoo, or one of the coffee shops or other businesses that are nearby. All Souls has wifi available.
Always try to attend the Saturday meetings. We do a lot of fun stuff like learn about the outdoors, citizenship and physical fitness. Our Scoutmaster and the Assistant Scoutmasters always have cool Scouting skills to teach us. And, all of the girls in your Patrol and the entire Troop want to see you!
We wear our Scouts BSA Field Uniform (“Class A”) to all Troop meetings. This is the one with the tan shirt and forest green pants. The uniforms can be purchased online but also – a scout is Thrifty! The troop has a uniform bank where we share uniforms that have been outgrown and donated by other scouts. If you are new to scouting, or have grown out of your old uniform, make sure to see what we have “in stock” in the uniform bank.
