Was the First Baptist Church of Glenarden Troop 1657 what Lord Robert Baden-Powell envisioned when he first created the Boy Scouts in 1907? Probably not! The Boy Scouts, originally a predominantly white organization, wasn’t specifically designed with young black boys in mind. However, this black troop, founded in the suburbs of Maryland, has proven itself to be a transformative space where black boys are unapologetically allowed to thrive and grow!
Created in conjunction with Cub Scout Pack 1657, this film chronicles the inspiring journey of Troop 1657, shining a light on how they’ve rewritten the narrative, creating a lasting impact in the community and beyond.
“Living a Legacy: Troop 1657” is a WHUTV documentary that celebrates a powerful legacy of resilience, leadership, and community.
