U* Branch 300 — Washington, D.C. The Mother's Day Picnic sponsored by the Hungarian Scouts of Washington was held on Sunday, May 8th, 2005 at the “Benedek Tanya” in Rockville, Maryland. The Scouts shared poems and danced for the parents. The program concluded with presenting each mother with a red carnation. After the program, lunch was provided by the Scouts families, during which time branch 300's Branch Manager Frank Kapitan gave information about juvenile policies for the Scouts.
