Details: All scouts are expected to march with the troop in the annual Memorial Day parade.
Please remind your son, on this day we honor men and women who gave their lives in service to their country, and we ask that all scouts respect them by behaving with appropriate solemnity and maturity.
We will meet at the Pingree School at 9:30 AM to issue gear and prepare for the parade. The school is located just outside of Jackson Square, on Commercial Street.
Please assemble in FULL uniform - shirt, pants (no shorts), neckerchief, and slide, with comfortable dark-colored shoes. Please do not wear your sash or medals.
Parents, please pick up your son promptly after the parade at Abigail Adams Middle School. The parade typically ends at 11 AM when the observances begin at Town Hall on the memorial green.
We will be issuing the following troop gear - drum straps, flag straps, flags, and drums/sticks - which must be returned by your son at the end of the parade. Scouts will carry a flag, a banner, or perform with the drum corps.
