On Saturday, November 7, 2026, Scouts and adult volunteers from Gardeners Scout Troop 75 conducted a Veterans Day service project at the Bendersville Cemetery. Working in conjunction with the Bendersville Cemetery Association, approximately 10 scouts and adult volunteers reviewed veteran records and surveyed the cemetery’s 260 veterans to identify those missing flag markers indicating the conflict era in which they served.The project identified veterans who still needed the appropriate markers to recognize their military service. The missing markers will be ordered and placed by the Scouts before Memorial Day this spring. Through this service project, Troop 75 helped ensure that the veterans buried at Bendersville Cemetery receive the recognition and honor they deserve for their service to our country.
