Veteran's Grave Flags

As we approach Memorial Day, Pack 100 pays tribute to the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans by placing flags at the gravesites of past service members.  There will be two events - one at Floral Park and one at Calvary Cemetary.

The date/time for Floral Park will be Saturday, May 19th at 10AM.  The Pack will meet directly inside the Floral Ave main entrance.

The date/time for Calvary Cemetery is Saturday, May 26th at 9AM.  The Pack will  meet at the chapel directly inside the Harry L Dr entrance.  Calvary Cemetary is a large location and many hands are required to minimize the time required.

All participating Scouts must be in Class A uniforms and parental supervision is required (Floral Ave has some rough terrain and not all gravestones are stable).

Handy items for the cemeteries:

  • old screwdriver to make ground holes for flag stands or to clear out existing flag stands
  • WATER
  • bug spray/sunscreen
  • sturdy footwear (no open toes/backs)
  • rainwear/fleece
