Members and their families met at the "Wall" at 6 am and were treated to a U.S. Park service guide tour of both the Vietnam and Korean War memorials.  Then everyone got down to business.  All supplies were provided by the U.S. Park Service.

After a quick briefing on how to respectfully treat items left behind after the previous weekend's Memorial Day Celebrations, the group split in two teams and began washing the marble wall, benches and walk ways.

In less than two hours, the job was finished and everyone was treated breakfast across from the White House.  If all goes well, the Troop plans to wash the Vietnam Memorial later in the summer.

If you know of a young man interested in community service and scouting, encourage them to stop by Lakeside Church on Thursday evenings at 7 PM.

More information on the Troop is at http://lakesideumc.org/Troop_1778.

Lakeside is excited about its Troop and always welcomes the opportunity to discuss scouting.
