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 27, 2017, 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.

Eagle Scout Candidate Paul Scannell will be leading the group as he works on his Eagle Scout Community Service project, identifying and marking veterans graves in this cemetery to aid with flagging and identification

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.



What: Memorial Day Parade
When: Monday, May 29, 2017, 9:15 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 Korean War memorial, just after the Pingree School entry across from the E Weymouth Congregational Church at 9:15 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.
