Do you have an old United States flag that is ready to be retired, but you don’t know how to dispose of it properly? Any Boy Scout troop or VFW location can help you to retire your old flag, but one local scout made the process a lot easier.
Andrew Green with Troop 17 of the Boy Scouts of America installed a public box where residents can deposit their worn out flags any time of the day, 24/7. Afterward, the Boy Scouts will unload the box and perform a proper retirement ceremony for them.
The box is located next to the Blessing Box at First United Methodist Church in Bryant, at 508 N. Reynolds Road. The first official retirement ceremony was held at the church on September 11th, 2021.
