Memorial Day Weekend Events
Troop 2 has two observances scheduled for this weekend to honor the sacrifices of the men and women who have given their lives to preserve and protect our freedom, and all those who have served in the armed forces.
What: Memorial Day Cemetery
Flagging
When:
Saturday, May 25, 2013, 8 AM to 11 AM
All scouts gather at 8:00
at the Fireman's Memorial, in the Village Cemetery (across from KFC on Rt 53) -
this is the first cemetery we flag, followed by the North Weymouth Cemetery at
9 AM where we are joined by the Cub Scouts.
Transportation needed
(parental carpools) between cemeteries.
No uniforms - please wear
Troop 2 Class B shirts - drum corps, camp, etc - or a patriotic shirt if possible.
We will gather afterward at the Weymouth Heights Club for cold drinks.
What: Memorial
Day Parade
When:
Monday, May 27, 2013, 9 AM to 11 AM
Details: All scouts are
expected to march with the troop in the annual Memorial Day parade. If your son
is unable to march, please let Mr. Chase know in advance so we can plan
accordingly.
We will meet at the Pingree School at 9:00 AM to issue gear and
prepare for the parade. Please assemble in FULL uniform with comfortable shoes.
Please do not wear your sash.
Parents, please pick up
your son promptly after the parade at Abigail Adams
Middle School. We typically march behind the school and
remove our gear. Your best bet might be to park on Academy Avenue, or at the Academy Avenue
school and walk up to the middle school to meet your son.
The parade ends at 11 AM
when the observances begin at Town Hall on the Memorial Green.
All scouts will carry a
flag, a banner, or perform with the Drum Corps.
If you have
any questions, please let us know
