Troop 23 will continue our annual tradition of being an active participant in the vigil. Scouts and Scouters must come looking your best in full Class A at 6:30 PM. The program is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM. So parents and family do not have to come at the same time as scouts.

The following instructions are from Maia Yedin of the Office of Senator Andrew Gounardes: 

"This year, I'll ask your help in setting them up to line the walkway onto the pier as attendees arrive. I will explain in detail on site. Please let scout parents know they'll need to stand off to the side while their scouts are performing their duties. As always, we will have some troop participation also in the presentation of colors and pledge of allegiance, and we will do a line up for those scouts onsite. They will be led by either Harry if his schedule permits him to come, or James in the event that Harry cannot attend." 

Please Be Prepared to serve and be respectful of purpose.
