The Patrick Henry Committee of St. John’s Church produces a program of free public reenactments of Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech each summer on Sundays between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We would enjoy having local scout troops present the colors each of these summer Sundays.

If possible, we would like a different troop to provide 4 scouts to present the colors and lead the pledge of allegiance. The program for the day is:

1:00 p.m. free tickets are distributed to the public and seating begins
1:30 p.m. patriotic organ program
1:55 p.m. present colors and lead pledge of allegiance
2:00 p.m. reenactment begins

Thank you,

As part of a national initiative, the BSA is on a drive to identify and update information on adult Eagle Scouts. Many have received blue post cards regarding their status and question the validity of the source. These cards are BSA inquiries based on members of the National Eagle Scout Association records and you can feel safe to respond. An on-line form should be available in May. The council is also gathering the same information. If you would like to be on the invitation list to upcoming events for Eagle Scouts, let us know by e-mail. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
