Cemetery Benefits from Boy Scout’s Military Flag Replacement Plan

Boy Scout Troop 152 North Kingstown

Members of Boy Scout Troop 152, led by Travis Sampson, replaced over 1200 worn and faded flags decorating the graves of U.S. Veterans at Quidnessett Memorial Cemetery in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Star Scout, Travis Sampson directs the scouts in the replacement plan.

The Troop annually replaces the flags as a service to the community.

Boy Scout Troop 152

Every year these hard working Boy Scouts from Troop 152 North Kingstown replace all the Veterans burial flags throughout the cemetery.  It is an enormous undertaking considering we have more than 1,350 Veterans resting with the gates of Quidnessett Memorial Cemetery.

This year the volunteer effort was organized by Scout Kyle Sayre.  They all did a terrific job!  Please join us in thanking Kyle and Boy Scout Troop 152 for their continued commitment and efforts on behalf of our Nation’s Veterans.    You may email them at troop152@ids.net
