Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from Mackville/Willisburg conducted two ceremonies on Saturday, May 27 to retire 50 American flags. These are photos from the flag preperation beforehand as well as of the ceremony. For more information and the story on the ceremony go to:

Proceeds from the sales of photographs purchased of this event go back to Scout programs. You may see several photos of the ceremony that are very similar. This is so parents and friends who want photos of their child or a friend's child can select from several photos of the event.
Flags are lowered one at a time into a barrel. A campfire or open flame is usually used - allowing those attending the ceremony to see the entire process. (c) 2005 Photo by Becky Blanton
