Purpose
The mission of Scouts BSA is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Troop 380 is a combined troop for girls and boys from ages 8 to 18 accomplish this through a fun, youth-led program with lots of time outdoors. Scouts focuses on providing youth with opportunities and experiences in leadership, physical fitness, character development, civic responsibility, and outdoor Scouting skills.
About Us
The Troop meets in the basement hall of St. Peter’s Church at 313 2nd Street, SE Washington, DC 20003 or nearby local parks every Wednesday evening starting at 7:15 pm and finishing about 8:45 pm.
A typical meeting might include learning valuable leadership and hands-on skills, working on a merit badge, planning one of our monthly campouts, or a yearly high-adventure.
Scouts teach one another using the "EDGE" method: Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable.
Our Troop is charterted by St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Capitol Hill. Although we are affiliated with the church, youth of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome. Our goal is to provide an exciting and challenging Scouting program for middle school and high school-aged youth in the Washington, DC/Capitol Hill area.
Scout Troops are lead by the youth themselves. They elect their own leaders for the Troop and each Patrol.
