May 23, 2009 - Memorial Day Flag Placement

Again this year the Scouts will be placing flags on the graves at the
Los Angeles National Cemetery in West Los Angeles
950 South Sepulveda Blvd.

Parking will be in the Veterans Administration Facilities through the tunnel on Constitution Avenue as it was last year.

We will start at 8:00 am, you must be there by 7:30 am in order to get signed in and receive your location map. Sign in starts at 7:00AM.

Do not remove any of these flags from of the Cemetery grounds.

All Scouts and Adults must be in full Class A uniform including hats.

Leaders are expected to explain to their scouts the reason for the Memorial Day Ceremony. The scouts must be made aware of appropriate behavior while at the cemetery. Do not let the scouts make any unnecessary noise or run around while in the cemetery.

Do not bring any food onto the cemetery grounds.

Each Troop or Pack should bring their unit flags with them, as they will be displayed in front of the assembly facing the stage during the presentations.
