As they have in past years, the City of Medford has invited Medford Girl Scouts to join with the Boy Scouts and participate in Medford’s upcoming Patriot’s Day Ceremony and Memorial Day Ceremony by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Girl Scouts who attend will receive a free fun patch from the Medford Girl Scout Service Unit.  Rebecca Scott will be onsite at both events to coordinate with the city, organize the kids, and hand out patches.
