Cadets Attend Magruder’s JROTC’s Eagle Battalion Golf Event

More than 30 students involved in Magruder High School’s Army Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) program came out to the first-ever Eagle Battalion Charity Golf Event at Blue Mash Golf Course in Laytonsville on Wednesday.

The event was organized by the Eagle Battalion Booster Club, a nonprofit that raises money for the Army JROTC program. Before the golfing began, the JROTC cadets performed a color guard presentation that included a tribute to four alumni from the program who died in action.
