This is a perfect opportunity for scouts to honor our Veterans and learn the meaning of Memorial Day with the help of Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Girl Scouts, and other youth from the local area.
Note: Plan to arrive at El Camino Memorial Park by 07:20 AM to allow time to park and walk up the hill to Arlington West. There will be signs indicating direction to the ceremony location. No vehicle parking will be allowed on the hill. There will be transportation for person(s) with disabilities or need assistance getting to the ceremony location. Each participating unit is welcome to provide 1 vehicle for transporting guests. During the ceremony, attendees will be taught the proper placement of the flag and how to acknowledge the Veteran’s service. We will then disperse around the park to place the flags. We typically invite a member of the various units to help with the flag presentation. Rehearsal will begin at 0730 at Arlington West.
