Have you heard about the History of Scouting Trail in Washington DC? Did you know that BSA began right here in Washington DC? The trail tells the story of Scouting history with first-person interactive challenges where all the history went down. Baden-Powell, Boyce, Juliette Low, Livingstone, James West -- they were all here in our city making it happen, and this National History Of Scouting trail retraces the steps from the Willard Hotel to "Scout Square" at Connecticut and S Street to the White House Victory Gardens planted and plowed by Scouts and so much more.
