Memorial Day ceremony, June 1 Troop Meeting

Don't forget there is no meeting tonight at the Hut due to the Memorial Day Holiday. There will be a meeting June 1 with emphasis on summer camp and a quest speaker regarding personal equipment from a Mountain High representative.

There will be some leaders and Scouts tonight at the Hut at 6:30 PM putting up last weekend's gear that was still wet...you are welcome to join us for about twenty minutes or so...

Congratulations to Mr. Doug Hardy for completing the final stage of Leader training (Outdoor Leader Skills and Training course -OLS), despite the rain, at Camp Sequoyah this weekend and for the following Scouts, Cubs, thier familes and Leaders for attending and participating in the Vulcan District's Veteran's Memorial Day Rembrance ceremonies at the Alabama Veteran's Memorial across from Liberty Park:

The Kidd's
The Gandy's
The Bolding's
The Griffith's
The Oliver's
The Scott's

P Kidd and Z Gandy were part of the opening Flag ceremony, while P Kidd and C Griffith read the names of the Veteran's Honor Role. Mr. Griffith's rendition of the Official "Taps" on his bugle for the closing was excellent...and all others participating in all the different events and audience was well representative of the Troop and the Greater Alabama Council. On behalf of our Scout Executive, Mr. Tim Cooper, Troop Commissioner Roger Etherington, and the organizing Veterens Day Committee, thanks for taking your time from the Holiday for such a special occasion for the Veterans on Memorial Day.
