After doing a cost/benefit analysis followed by some discussion, our committee has given us the green light on doing a Flag Service for our summer camp fundraiser. We priced a couple of kits from a few online retailers but found the best deal with a local company, Colonial Flag in Sandy, Utah. They support the scouting program by offering a full kit at a discounted price. That kit includes:
- 3×5′ polyester American flag
- 7′ 6″ tall white pvc pole (3/4″ diameter)
- O-rings and zip-ties to attach flag to pole
- Vinyl gold ball topper
- 3′ piece of rebar
Looks like our tentative dates of service will be:
- Feb 21 – President’s Day
- May 30 – Memorial Day
- June 14 – Flag Day
- July 04 – Independence Day
- July 24 – Pioneer Day
- Sept 05 – Labor Day
- Sept 11 – Patriot Day
- Nov 11 – Veteran’s Day
Now it’s time to make some assignments for the boys to get started on the advertising!
