Flag Day 2023

June 23, 2023 by Ashante Corey-Bey

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.

 

St.Mary’s County Flag Day Celebration

Last week St.Mary’s County Celebrated its 37th annual Flag Day event. Scouts were able to participate in the color guard, retire American flags and enjoy the rest of the festivities. The Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department Company 1 retired over 800 U.S. flags. One of our NCAC Scouts Kaden S, built flag collection boxes in his community and contributed 200 flags to be retired next year. This event was covered and featured in Southern Maryland News.
