Veterans Day


This year Veteran's Day, as I'm sure you are all aware, falls on a Saturday.

The schedule of events are as follows;
11 am church service at the North Conway Congregational Church (across from Your Paws Only).
We will leave the church following the service and march to the JHF School.
From the school we will parade to Schouler Park (in front of the train station).
At the park there will be a flag ceremony w/ two Scouts from Troop 150 aiding the Legionnaire's in folding the flag. The flag will be presented to a local widow to commemorate her husbands service to our country.
Following the service, around 2pm, the Scouts will be invited to attend a luncheon with the members of the Legion. This, from my understanding, will be a ticketed event. You should see me immediately following the ceremony at the park if you plan on attending the luncheon.

The boys and leaders will be expected to be in 'Class A' uniform.

Please remind the boys about the reverence that is due to the men and women that have sacrificed for our country. They are expected to be on their best behavior.
