Scout Troop 14
Flag Retirement
Did you know the Boy Scouts of America is one of the very few organizations that have an official code for flag retirement? Respect for our nation’s symbols are an integral part of being a reverent, responsible Scout; thus we have specific rules for the appropriate retirement of the United States flag. In fact, conducting a flag retirement ceremony is a very meaningful opportunity for Scouts and Scouters to reflect on the meaning of the flag as a great symbol of freedom.
Troop 14 can retire your flag properly with dignity and respect according to the rules of the U.S. Flag Code.
Deposit your flag in one of the three locations listed below and notify us of your deposit so that we can pick up your flag and retire it with honor.

Resources
Stars for Our Troops is made up of patriotic volunteers who dedicate their time to giving the American flag a new purpose when the flags become tattered and faded. Once these flags are retired from service, volunteers pass the legacy the embroidered Stars hold on to those who defend them. Learn more at starsforourtroops.org
