Fair Oaks Cemetery Memorial Day Service Project

  • Troop 380 has a long tradition of serving our community at this event. The troop even has its own bench in the cemetery to honor that!
  • Fair Oaks Cemetery, 7780 Olive Street, Fair Oaks
  • We begin with several practices for the flag ceremony, which Troop 380 performs during this celebration. Then we direct parking within the cemetery and handout programs for the Memorial Day service which starts at 10AM and troop families are welcome to attend the event. The service includes brief speeches from our local politicians, and in honor of this year’s theme: “The 250th Anniversary of America’s First Three Military Branches: Army, Navy and Marines.” After the event we will take down the chairs and awnings and enjoy refreshments of homemade cookies, ice cream and lemonade.
  • Scouts can earn community service hours or money for their account. Please sign up at the troop meeting. If you have any questions, please ask Ethan Bui at the meeting, or Elizabeth Ruygt (goldrivmom@comcast.net).
