Cemetery Cleanup

Tomorrow the troop will be cleaning up the Colonel Hunter Cemetery on Deturk Rd. next to Gotwall's Farm. This will start at 6:00, before the troop meeting. It will take place through most of the evening, so if you have to be at the PLC or Orienteering Meet planning you do not have to attend. Boots and work gloves are recommended, as well as a rake (leaf or garden), weed whacker, and trimming shears/branch loppers. Class A uniform is not needed. This project will count for service hours towards rank advancement. Heres is a map to the cemetery.
