January Service - Wreaths Out at Arlington National Cemetary

Posted by rberlett on Jan 10 2025 - 3:34pm

With our obligations cleaning at Monticello done until spring, we have a different great service opportunity for Scouts.  Arlington National Cemetery is holding their annual removal of wreaths, known as "Wreaths Out," on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025.  "Wreaths Out" is when Arlington National Cemetary safely conducts the removal and recovery of approximately 267,000 wreaths which honored our nation’s heroes and their family members during the Christmas season. Please sign up so we can organize going together with rides - however, if you will travel separately, please make a note in the sign up, and just show up at the main entrance. Usually much less crowded than putting the wreaths out. 
Mr Wiser is organizing the group effort for provide this service opportunity. If you can go, but at a different timeline, please let him know; perhaps you can arrange to meet up at ANC.
Given the challenges with parking and general congestion at ANC, we'll be using the metro for this event.
We'll meet at the entrance to the Braddock Road Metro station at 7:15 Saturday morning; we'll ride the metro together there and back.
Scouts, wear your uniforms and dress for cold weather.    
It would be helpful to have a Metro card preloaded. If that isn't possible, make sure you have money or a credit card.
A few feet of paracord for stringing wreaths together will come in handy but isn't required.  You can bring a hiking stick, broom, or rake handle (only the stick, remove the head). Gloves are recommended. Bring an ID card if you have one, and NO knives! Water is always a good idea.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
The below link to the ANC website has more information.   Wreaths Out
See you Saturday morning!
