I had seen that there was a boy scout chapter in D.C. called BSA Troop 666. http://bsatroop666.org/
When you google the organization it pulls up the address 3401 Nebraska Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016. If you enter this address in google, it actually is the Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church. I can't believe a church organization would allow a group with "666" to be allowed to use their church for their operations. While yelping the church, one of the comments confirms that the BSA Troop 666 operates in the basement of the church. https://www.yelp.com/biz/metropolitan-memorial-united-methodist-church-washington (Under Anna S, last paragraph)
The former leader of BSA Troop 666 was actually busted molesting male scouts in New York. http://archive.is/eHAhe
If you look right now on their website, the first link I inlcuded...their "666 Calendar" of upcoming events shows "Th-Mo, Jul 20-31, 2017 Philmont Scout Ranch, Cimarron, NM" If you look up Philmont Scount Ranch in New Mexico..it looks like there has definitely been reports of child molestation. http://crewjanci.com/crew-janci-files-new-boy-scout-abuse-lawsuit-new-mexico/

I can't seem to locate much information on leaders or members from the troop. There is little info on names of leaders. Is this normal with Boy Scouts. Seems like this organization is trying to operate in the shadows, rather than to go out and promote how great it is to be a part of their Troop.
Seems pretty Odd to have a group with ties to child molestation, carrying the name "666", while being allowed to operate in the basement of a church. But i mean...this is D.C. we are talking about, so I'm not surprised. Perhaps we should dig a little more at this cuz something just doesn't sound right.

I'm afraid I don't get the basement connection. I attended scouts in the basement of our Methodist church, there were no pedos. One entered the church going up high steps almost half a story. The basement was finished off to look like any school room and thats where we did Sunday School. It was very bright and airy because the high windows were above ground level. Their were kitchen facilities down there as well. The church, the pews, alter, choir section, etc. was off limits for non-church activities, only church services, weddings funerals etc. Every church I attended thru out childhood set up like that. Churches and residential homes down south and out west don't seem to have basements. So i guess folks have different perceptions of basements depending where you live.
