Flag Retirement Ceremonies

Date: July 7, 2020

Too many flags to burn? That's a common problem when we are the only youth organization capable of doing so. We were allowed by a scout family to use their parking area to spread out during covid to burn a half dozen flags. After the Scoutmaster demonstrated, via the Edge Method, how to disassemble an American Flag to retire, groups of scouts worked to respectfully retire their own.  That's an event those scouts won't soon forget. Nor should they.
