Packs, troops and crews in the Pony Express Council are honoring local service personnel and reservists by tying red, white and blue ribbons on trees throughout the community. Through this small act of patriotism, Scouts are letting our armed forces know we care deeply about them and the great risk they take to protect this country.
The Boy Scouts of America invites all members of the community to show their support of our brave men and women as they protect America by tying red, white and blue ribbons in their neighborhood. We encourage people who have friends, family members or colleagues in the armed services to write the name of that person on the ribbons.
Throughout the decades, the Boy Scouts of America has rallied to the support of our nation’s military and their families. Through countless conflicts, Scouts have stood shoulder to shoulder in support of the brave men and women who protect our nation. As we enter the early days of this current conflict, Scouts, volunteers and families across the nation will carry on that tradition.
“Our thoughts are with our every serviceperson and reservist fighting for peace in the Middle East and we pray for their safe return,” said Rick Reeve, local field director. “Our oath to serve others is as meaningful today as it was 93 years ago.”
