Flag Retirement Kits
Free at both our service centers. The kits include an American flag that has been given to the Scout office for retirement and an instruction sheet on how to do a flag retirement ceremony. The instruction sheet describes how to cut up the flag (so it is no longer considered a flag before burning it), a script to use during the retirement, info on flag recycling, and some flag history. This is a perfect program to enhance a den, pack, patrol or troop ceremony or meeting.
