Planting the flags at the Cemetary

Alicia is the Wolf Den Leader for the scout troop at church. For Memorial Day we went Sat. morning and with about 300 other scouts planted flags at Green Hills Cemetary. There are 6,000 vets buried there. Our pack was responsible for finding about 100 of them or so.

Josh couldn't find the graves so well, but he had fun holding the flags and helping hand them out to the scots. If you look in the background you can see the scouts reading each grave looking for the veterans.

We had a great turn out, 11 boys came. They were very dilliegent and worked hard to make sure no veteran's grave got left out.

Not only did we have the scouts there, but we had 7 siblings come too. It is so nice to be a part of a program that encourages not only boys but families to work together. After we planted the flags the boys had soda and hot dogs, it was a great morning!
