Honoring our Veterans at Memorial Day


Troop 2 observes Memorial Day the same way each year. Since 1911 we've had the honor of marching in the Weymouth parade to recognize our veterans, and have included our Drum Corps since 1931.

In addition, we decorate the graves of veterans, many of whom gave their lives for our country, at several cemetaries in Weymouth.

The oldest photo in our collection of "Decorating Day" dates from the 1930's, and is shown below:




Photos of our scouts replacing worn flags are below.
