Every year I ask the question “What is Memorial Day?” at a pack meeting and every year I get about 75% incorrect answers.  Most of our scouts and youth believe it is just a day off of school.  Some are partially right and say it is to honor our veterans.  Part of being a scout is honoring and respecting the flag.  That includes learning about and honoring those that respected it enough to give their lives for it.  I hope before everyone fires up the BBQ and jumps in the pool you can come out and join us with many others in the Town of Davie Memorial Day parade and ceremony.  Pack 183 will be proudly marching in this parade and will be observers of the service held at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds afterwards.

             If you are new to Pack 183 and haven’t had a chance to purchase the full uniform please join us and have your scout wear the Pack 183 Class “B” blue t-shirt.

We will have small flags for the scouts and siblings at the parade.  If you wish to bring your own please do so.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone out there this year.  If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.  My phone number is (754) 444-6813 for anyone that needs to reach me before or on the day of the parade.
