Why Should You Attend? Nearly every youth experiences Scouting with members of his or her family. Scouting provides the opportunity to strengthen ties, create family memories, and develop a shared family foundation of worthwhile virtues and values. This years Flag Day will be one of those days! Scouts are making two big Flags that will be raised at the ceremony. Each year a Presidential Proclamation is presented and this year, a Historic Log Book will be created because of the two Flags. Both the Presidential Proclamation and Historic Log Book can be signed by all.
(All material & supplies provided by Annin & Company Flags)
