All Scouts who have not gone away for the weekend should attend, Class A<\/a>’s.<\/p>\n

Looking for one Scout to read Gettysburg Address (practiced, but not necessarily from memory). Would also like a musically inclined Scout to play Taps (well) – any instrument.<\/p>\n

Flag lowering and remove flags from headstones<\/p>\n
