As we prepare for the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Pack 61 has been invited to participate in a very important Service Project honoring those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as the First Responders and others who served that day.

The City of Smyrna will be curating a special memorial display that will feature flags representing the Twin Towers and will be located on the small hill to the right (north side) of Smyrna City Hall on Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 4:00 PM at Smyrna City Hall.

Participating Troops and Packs, along with members of the Smyrna Public Safety Foundation, will place the flags beginning at 4:00 PM on September 10th. We realize that the time of 4:00pm may be a challenge due to school dismissal. We simply ask that families do the best they can considering dismissal times and after-school commitments.

The flags will remain on display throughout the 9/11 anniversary weekend and will be removed on Sunday, September 13, 2026 at 4:00pm. Your presence is requested to help set up and remove flags. We would like to have as many Scouts, parents, and leaders as possible participate in both the placement and removal of the flags. Many hands make light work! If you can attend either setup or takedown (or both), please let Ms. Sharla know as soon as possible.

The official 9/11 25th Anniversary Ceremony will be held on Friday, September 11, 2026 at 8:00 AM in front of Smyrna City Hall. The Smyrna Police and Fire Chiefs will oversee the ceremony, which will include speakers, an Honor Guard, sirens, and a First Responder run. The run will begin at 9:05 AM and conclude by approximately 9:30 AM, with the ceremony lasting about an hour.

This will be a meaningful opportunity for ALL Scouts and families to honor the lives lost on 9/11 and show our support for the men and women of Smyrna’s police and fire departments.

Thank you for helping Scouting America honor this important anniversary and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
