Flag Retirement Ceremony
Thursday June 9 1pm South Park
A special message:
Allegheny County Council Members invite Boy Scout Troops from the South Hills area to attend the 2011 Flag Retirement Ceremony on Thursday, June 9th, at 1:00 p.m. at South Park’s Flag Retirement Plaza located behind the Children’s Theatre in South Park.
The ceremony’s agenda will mirror last year’s event, running from 30 to 45 minutes and including speeches from elected officials, performances by vocalists and instrumentalists, and a presentation of flags. We invite scouts to participate in the event; they may be utilized to prepare and execute the ceremony (i.e. raising flags on flag poles, presenting flags to be retired, escorting disabled veterans to seats, handing out programs, etc.).
We request that those interested in participating please RSVP to cubscouts661@verizon.net no later than May 31st.
The ceremony at South Park is conducted annually to properly retire and honor flags that have become worn and unserviceable from flying as representation of our country. Elected officials, girl scout troops, veterans’ and community groups, among others, have also been invited.
Community Day Wrap-Up
A message from Cubmaster Rick:
We had about 20 boys march in the parade at Community Day. (Special thanks to our recent Webelos alums who marched with us as well!) Watch it when it runs on the USC cable station. We got a little scrunched up with the group in front of us, but all in all it went well.
We will plan on doing it again next year, and hope to see an even better turnout!
