2021 FORT SNELLING NATIONAL CEMETERY WREATH CLEAN-UP – Open to Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR COVID-19 PROTOCOLS
Started by the legacy Kaposia Chapter of the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge, the annual Ft. Snelling National Cemetery Wreath Clean-up is one of the largest service projects undertaken in Northern Star Scouting each year. Held the first Saturday in February (this year, Saturday February 6, 2021), the project consists of removing wreaths and holiday decorations from memorials on the grounds of the Ft. Snelling National Cemetery. Although led by the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, the event is open to Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturers, and the public. We are excited to announce that the Totanhan Nakaha Lodge has been given the go-ahead to implement the clean-up effort in 2021!

Fort Snelling National Cemetery, adjacent the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. In vehicle check in will be offered this year to help maintain social distancing. Further information will be communicated as the final COVID-19 preparedness plan is confirmed.
HOW
In order to provide updates to participants ahead of the event, as well as assist in designating pre-assigned work areas, we are asking that all participants pre-register for the event.
