B.P.O.E. LODGE 2114 AND TROOP 396

 CELEBRATES THE HONORING OF THEIR 100TH

EAGLE SCOUT

On Sunday, March 29, 2015 the Arlington Elks Lodge and its Scout Troop will celebrate the honoring of their 100th Eagle Scout.  The ceremony will start at 2:00 pm. and last for a little over an hour.

The festivities will consist of two parts, the first being called "Joined at the Hip" will be a celebration of the Lodge/Troop longevity and combined effort for more than fifty years to recognize 100 eagles.  The second part will be a formal Eagle Court of Honor for Nicholas Shepherd.

You are cordially invited to attend and to remain afterwards for hors d'oeuvres.  If you are an Eagle Scout, please wear your Eagle neckerchief.  If you are an Eagle and can't find your neckerchief, we will provide a loaner neckerchief.
