On Saturday we will be placing flags on the graves of veterans at three cemeteries. We begin at 8 AM at the Village Cemetery, across from Kentucky Fried Chicken on Rt. 53. From that cemetery we proceed to the Old North Cemetery on North and Norton St. near the clubhouse (this cemetery is where our first scoutmaster, Ernest Smith, is buried.) and we end at the St. Francis Cemetery across from Shaws on Middle Street. After the flagging we proceed to the Wessagusset Post VFW on Broad Street for pizza lunch.
Scouts do not need to wear uniforms for this event, however they are encouraged to wear a Troop 2 Tshirt. A hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and water are all suggested.
Parents are encouraged to join us to help decorate the graves. Carpooling is greatly appreciated, and parking is available inside the cemeteries.
On Monday we march in the Weymouth Memorial Day Parade. Historically, this was our first parade, as we marched in the 1911 parade at the invitation of the town.
Scouts must report in FULL UNIFORM - shirt, neckerchief, pants, belt - sashes are not required. We meet at 9 AM at Pingree School to set up the drum corps and issue leggings and flags.
PLEASE REPORT PROMPTLY - we need to get everyone set up and in line before we can begin marching. Leggings take a bit of time to get on, as do flag straps, and flags and banners will be issued to scouts as they arrive. Leggings must be returned at the end of the parade.
Please meet your son at Abigail Adams Middle School at the end of the parade.
If you have any questions, please contact Troop Leadership.
