To show reverence for the sacrifice of those buried in the Cemetery, we have ensured there will be
absolutely no eating
on the grounds of the Cemetery, with the exception of the refreshments that will be provided by the City and County. Please remind Scouts of the Leave No Trace commitment. Also, leaders, please ensure Scouts are demonstrating a good example of Scouting values; no running, laughing, or in any way disrespecting this honorable occasion. Another way we can show respect for this honor is to ensure all of our Scouts are properly dressed in a pressed Class “A” Uniform,
closed‐toed shoes
and
shirts tucked‐in
.
To register your unit’s participation, please complete the form and return to the service center by Thursday May 24, 2012.
