San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio
8:45 – 11am
Troop 415 will once again attend and help organize the Memorial Day flag planting ceremony on the Saturday before Memorial Day.
This event is always well attended by Scouts from across our District and Council. It’s a meaningful opportunity not only to earn service hours and complete certain Rank advancement requirements, but—more importantly—for Scouts to honor and learn about the sacrifices made by others in service to our country.
