Dear  Friends & Cub Scout Parents:

This note is further to reminders sent by Diana – Outside Activities Coordinator –  I apologize for any redundancies.

Tomorrow is a special day for our cub scouts. They will have the opportunity to honor our fallen soldiers jointly with many other scouts from the area’s packs and troops by planting flags at the graves of our fallen soldiers.

Participation counts as a summer time activity (three are needed to earn the “Summertime Activity Patch”). If you did not sign your boy up, he can still participate. If he does, please notify Diana so that he gets credit.

 We normally meet by the flagpole. Sections of the cemetery are assigned by pack/troop by the organizers. This is normally announced immediately after the opening ceremony.
As of last night, only four boys had been signed up to participate.  If you do not have other plans for tomorrow afternoon, I encourage you to attend with your cub scout.

Below are instructions issued by the Alamo Area BSA Council.

“The opening ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM at the Assembly Area located on the far East Side of the Cemetery near the administrative offices. Enter using Nursery Road and PLEASE DO NOT park off Harry Wurzbach Road.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, Sunscreen, Hat, Umbrella (protection from rain or sun), Screwdriver & Mallet for ease in placing flags
WHAT TO WEAR: Scout Uniform Recommended”

YIS
