At 8:00 am on May 26th, Boy Scouts of The Capitol District will sponsor a Memorial Day Service Flag Placement at Crownsville Veterans Cemetery located on Sunrise Beach Rd. Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Ventures as well as participants from other organizations will place flags starting at 8:30 am after the memorial service. Guest speakers include a local politician, Daughters of the American Revolution and various Veterans groups.
The gates “will not open” before 7:30 am. That is the cemetery requirement. We have to wait for their staff to be in place before we enter. We start the Ceremony promptly at 8:00 am with the invocation and ceremony. Flag placement begins at 8:30 am.
There is plenty of time to park and get to the ceremony before it starts. It is “extremely” important that attendees do not park on Sunrise Beach Road. The county police do not want us parking on the main street. And they may give tickets to those that do.
Safety is our first concern. That is a main road and we do not want anyone to get hurt.
Uniform for Event is Class "A"
