Croton Cub Scout Pack 28 Veterans Day Observance: "Dear Veteran" Activity

Croton Cub Scouts Pack 28 will honor local veterans by participating in the annual “Dear Veteran” activity. After a family conversation about what it means to be a veteran and talking about veterans in our community, Scouts will decorate one side of an index card in a patriotic theme and the words "Dear Veteran." On the other side Scouts will write a message of thanks. The Scouts invite all residents to create a card and show your support. Index cards should be laminated or placed in a clear plastic bag and tied to a tree with ribbon near your home, where passing Veterans can see it. Trees should be on your property or you should obtain permission. The messages will be placed before Veterans Day, Friday, November 11th and removed after Thanksgiving. The more messages our local Veterans see as they walk and drive around town, the more appreciation they will feel. More about Croton Cub Scout Pack 28 is available at https://www.crotoncubs.org/aboutus.
