What hotel do you recommend in Philadelphia?

Where can Boy Scouts Stay in Downtown Philadelphia PA?

• I am a Boy Scout Scoutmaster, and I have a group of Scouts who want to take the AmTrak train from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, PA for a weekend trip. While in Philadelphia we hope to tour the typical tourist sites in downtown Philly and use the Subway/Public Transportation to get around. The hang-up is where to stay... is there anyplace anyone can recommend that would accommodate a Boy Scout Troop? We *could* go the Hotel route, but would like to avoid that... I am open to other alternatives.

• Answer:

  Have you contacted the council HQ here?? Their office is right on the Ben Franklin Parkway at 22nd & Winter streets ? http://colbsa.org/ General Questions [email protected] They do own some Scouting reservations for camping. None are really close to the city at all. For more information, please contact the Triune District Commissioner, Christine Shaw (610) 226-4810.
