Awesome event: Flag Placing Ceremony, Saturday, May 26To All Pack 731 Cub Scouts and Family Members:
You are cordially invited (and encouraged) to join Scouts from all across the area in a Memorial Weekend show of support for our country and our war heroes. Attendees will participate in a commemorative ceremony and help place 14,000 flags on the gravesites of veterans at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery, 1122 Sunrise Beach Road in Crownsville, Maryland. Opening ceremony is at 8:00 am. The Scouts will begin placing flags at 8:30, and should finish by 10:30(although in prior years I’ve seen them finish in less than an hour). We hope you can take the time to participate in this show of respect for American Veterans. You’ll get a sense of the sacrifice required to provide us with our way of life and be amazed at the way many helping hands make light work of a seemingly daunting task. This is a well-attended event, much more fun than you might think, and is the perfect setting for the most amazing photos.
Snacks and drinks are provided.
