Wreaths Across America Day 2025: Remember. Honor. Teach.

Each December, communities across the nation come together to honor the brave men and
women who have served our country. This year, Wreaths Across America Day will take place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at cemeteries nationwide — including right here in Arizona.

Join us for this heartfelt ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, where volunteers will gather to place remembrance wreaths on the graves of our nation’s heroes. This annual tradition embodies three simple yet powerful words: Remember. Honor. Teach.

What to Expect

This is a public event, and everyone is welcome to participate. Whether you’re an individual, a family, or a troop, your presence helps ensure that every veteran is remembered with dignity and gratitude.

2026 My First Cookie Booth

Pima has a program that pairs Daisy Girl Scouts and Daisy Parents with an older troop for their first cookie booth experience. Here are the rules:

The expectation is that girls will attend for about 15 minutes to get just a taste of what it is like.
A parent must attend with their Daisy.
Girls should come in uniform (white shirt, black bottoms, vest).
Daisies will receive a patch for attendance.

Please note, if you open up your booth to Daisies, you must still adhere to cookie booth staffing guidelines. No more than FOUR girls at a booth at any time.

We would like parents to read over the boothing guidelines before they arrive at their first cookie booth experience. ).

The links to sign up will appear here after booths are selected by older troops.
