The Scouts will hold a flag retirement ceremony on Sunday, May 26, at 6:30 p.m. to dispose of tattered flags.
For flags that are tattered, torn and faded, the appropriate way to retire them is to burn them on a natural fire and allow the fire to die by itself. The Scouts take all the metal rivets out so that nothing is left of the flag.
The public can bring their flags for dignified disposal. The organizers will light the field of flags at night.
