If any Scout would like to earn a flag retirement badge, come on out this Saturday.

The Munster VFW will be conducting a Flag Retirement Ceremony this Saturday at the Community Veterans Memorial.

We will not allow the Scouts to handle the burning itself – we will be keeping them at a safe distance. They can conduct the ceremony and pile up the flags for the burn. The burn itself is way too dangerous for youngsters, as Pack 936 will also be invited.  The fire gets HOT enough to melt the plastic lenses in your glasses.

If they are so inclined, come on out around 10:45 am.  Park on Valparaiso near Progress and there is a gravel road that leads to Vietnam.

If you can please let me know by Thursday who will be attending, so I can ensure we have enough badges for everyone.
