Members of Boy Scout Troop 114, chartered by the F.W. Thompson Masonic Lodge of Bedford assist the Bedford Minuteman Company in staging its annual Pole Capping observance on Saturday, April 11.

The Scouts served as Assistant Parade Marshals on Bedford Commmon, double checking that the marching units are in alphabetical order and assisting in whatever way they can during the muster. After the parade stepped off, they get hurried to Willson Park ahead of the parade, and kept people out of the street until the units formed up around the park, reserving an area at the “apex” of the triangle so that the British re-enactors could double-time into the park and “arrest” the pole climber.
