Memorial Good Turn

Memorial Good Turn started in the Gravois Trail District back in 1950. The Boy Scouts place a US flag a on each grave at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. For more than six decades, approximately 4,000 Scouts have gathered at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery prior to Memorial Day to decorate each of the 280,000 graves with an American Flag. The tradition, entering its 67th year, is one of the longest running Memorial Day events within the Boy Scouts of America.
