Cell phones are not only allowed for this trip they are recommended. We want the scouts & adults to use the resources that are out there to best grasp all DC has to offer. We are asking that everyone downloads the following apps:

ANC Explorer (Arlington app)

Smithsonian Mobile

NPS National Mall

Friday night when we get to the hotel, we will have a meeting where we will discuss what we will do on Saturday (Museums vs. monuments, or a combination of both), so please download these apps now and review. Also make sure your scouts download as well if they don’t check the website.

We want to make it very clear, allowing phones is so scouts can take pictures and use the suggested apps. It is NOT to play games, go on Snapchat, instagram, etc. We expect parents to remind scouts of this before they go.
