Brunswick, MD — November 9, 2025
Members of Scouts BSA Troop 1775 proudly marched in the Brunswick Veterans Day Parade this year, joining the community in honoring the brave men and women who have served our nation.
This year, the troop had the distinct honor of carrying the colors alongside the Sargent Lawrence Everheart Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution Color Guard. The partnership gave the Scouts an opportunity to take part in a meaningful tradition—presenting the flags that symbolize our nation’s history, sacrifice, and unity.
The crowd’s applause and cheers as the Scouts passed by showed deep appreciation for the presence of Scouting in the parade. “It was a powerful reminder that citizenship and service—two cornerstones of Scouting—are living values,” said Talisha Kellogg, the Scoutmaster for Troop 1775.
Beyond marching, the Scouts took time to learn about the origins of Veterans Day and the historical connections between America’s founding in 1775 and the values their troop strives to uphold. The year 1775 marks both the founding of the United States Army and the beginning of the American Revolution, events that reflect courage, service, and dedication—principles that continue to guide the Scouts today.
Troop 1775’s participation was both a tribute to veterans and a living lesson in history, patriotism, and community service.
