Scout Troop 1887 - Activities - Honor Flights

We have done many things ranging from campouts to service projects from February to the present. In May, we participated in an Honor Flight welcoming Veterans groups where we made signs and welcomed the veterans from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. The Veterans were from Danbury, Connecticut. It was a great experience for all of the scouts.

Scout Matt Jackson, Troop 1887 Historian

Note: The scouts met the veterans at Reagan National Airport. The Veterans were then taken to the various war memorials on the Mall. The Veterans expenses were paid by various local civic groups. For more details about the program--Go to the Honor Flight program on the web.
