What a beautiful day to celebrate the lives of our military! Troop 62 made a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on Dec. 10, 2011 to lay wreaths at the tombs of our military who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Wreaths Across America delivers thousands of wreaths to Arlington every December. Many thanks to Wreaths Across America for their service! After the wreath laying, scouts had the opportunity to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, watching the changing of the guard as well as a wreath laying ceremony. Scouts also visited the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle gravesites as well as Pres. John F. Kennedy's. After our visit at Arlington, the Troop hoped on the Metro and headed to the International Spy Muesum. Scouts spent about 2 hours browsing the exhibits and learning about the history of spy tools and famous spys as well as how many of the under cover operations work. Scouts learned how to pick a key lock through a video clip! Fascinating how spys help to protect our country but also have the ability to destroy our country! "Trust no one (spy motto)," except our Troop 62 scouts!! Thanks to the adults who attended!
Our friend, Edna who joined us!
Thanks to the scouts for friending a lady named, Edna in the parking lot of the Metro when we arrived on Saturday morning. Edna was alone and looking for some guidance in getting on the Metro and making her way to Arlington. Our Troop took Edna under our wings and she joined our Troop for the day! Edna even joined us in our trek to the Spy Museum. We were thankful to have Edna along. Many thanks to our Troop for their GOOD TURN!!
