Flag Folding at the National Harbor with FoX5 DC
In honor of Flag Day, National Harbor invited Troop 450 of Glenn Dale, Maryland to demonstrate how to fold a U.S. flag for a live news segment on Fox 5 DC. Reporter Gwen Tolbart FOX 5 DC joined in to help! Afterwards, our Scouts stayed to collect flags to be retired during a concert by the U.S. Army Band. Thank you to National Harbor for the invitation and the opportunity to invite the community to properly and respectfully dispose of U.S. flags.
