Recognizing Eastman

Upcoming Events

,

Troop 48 Who have parents or relationship that work at Eastman

We want you to be a part of the honor guard made up of several different Troops from the Sequoyah Council for an upcoming service dinner. These Scouts should be scouts in our unit and others whose parents or guardians work at Eastman Chemical Company or who are contractors at Eastman.

The Sequoyah Council is recognizing Eastman Chemical Company at the upcoming Distinguished Citizens Dinner on Thursday February 27th.

Eastman’s leadership team wants part of that event to focus on the Scouts of Eastman Employees or contractors.

The way that those Scouts will participate is an honor guard as a part of the opening of the event. Scouts will either carry their unit flag, state or American flag in.

Hopefully there are about 50-75 scouts who will be a part of this. Scouts under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please sign up on Tuesday if you are interested. Cut off for sign up is February 14th.
