Troop 2 Events - Memorial Day Weekend, 2013

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.

On Saturday we will be placing flags on the graves of veterans. 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). After this cemetery scouts are welcome to stop by the Weymouth Heights Club for refreshments.

Scouts do not need to wear uniforms for this event, however they are encouraged to wear a Troop 2 T-shirt. 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.

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 flags.

PLEASE REPORT PROMPTLY - we need to get everyone set up and in line before we can begin marching.  Flag straps and drums take a bit of time to assemble, and flags and banners will be issued to scouts as they arrive. All scouts are urged to participate in this event.

Please meet your son at Abigail Adams Middle School at the end of the parade.

If you have any questions, please let us know
