The weekend of Memorial Day, the Scouts from Troop 380 participated in the annual Memorial Day Service at Fair Oaks Cemetery.

On Saturday morning they had over 300 people there for the Memorial Day service; we passed out programs and directed traffic, and lowered a year old flag and raised a new flag from congress during the ceremony. Each year, the ceremony honors veterans buried in the cemetery from past wars. This year they focused on the Civil War veterans.

Later, we put away chairs, took down the awnings, and participated in taking as many cookies as we could from the hundreds they had on plates. When we came back later and took down the avenue flags. Monday, we put up the avenue flags up, and then later took them down again.
