You may have seen them recently on Flag Day. Or, maybe you saw them out and about on Memorial Day. Regardless of when or where it might be, it’s hard to miss the teams of Boy Scouts from Troop 1 that place 153 American flags in local yards of those who participate in the U.S. Flag Holiday Fundraiser.
You may have seen them recently on Flag Day. Or, maybe you saw them out and about on Memorial Day. Regardless of when or where it might be, it’s hard to miss the teams of Boy Scouts from Troop 1 that place 153 American flags in local yards of those who participate in the U.S. Flag Holiday Fundraiser.
For President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Veteran’s Day, Boy Scouts from Troop 1 will display a 3’x5’ American flag on a 10’ pole in yards of the fundraiser participants. And, for those participants on the Dogwood Trail, a 7th weeklong flag will be posted during the Dogwood Festival if the participant is able to light the flag at night.
For $50 a year, the flag is raised and retired by a Scout in uniform and with a salute to the star spangled banner. If you’re interested in supporting a great cause all the while proudly displaying your patriotism, contact Scoutmaster John Baker at Grace Episcopal Church. All proceeds go directly to support Boy Scout activities.
