COLLECTING THE FLAGS

West Yellowstone Boy Scouts Pick Up The Flags

I have already written about Flag Day in our little town.  I told you about the Boy Scouts of Troop # 602 placing flags at the homes and some of the businesses in our town on Flag Day - 4th of July - Memorial Day - Labor Day.

Each scout gets to place a flag in their own yard and all the churches in town get a flag placed - free of charge.

This is their only fund raising activity.  This year the Scouts placed 147 flags in our little town.

The funds from this program - (it will cost you $25.00 for the entire summer) - are used for merit badges, supplies and for their summer camp.

They started the program in 2001 with a total of 40 flags.  The program has now grown to 147.

Way to go Scouts.
