🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day from the Coastal Plains District!

Today, we honor the American flag and the values of service, sacrifice and unity it represents.

A special Flag Day highlight was Life Scout Eric Baade’s Eagle Scout project, where Scouts helped respectfully retire worn American flags collected through VFW Post 3903 and local Scouting organizations.

The photo included with this post was taken during today’s ceremony.

Day Three of Coastal Plains District Day Camp at Long Acres Ranch brought the rain back, and the weather ended up cutting our final day short. 🌧️

But the Scouts did what Scouts do best — they made the most of it. The main pavilion stayed full of energy as dens continued completing adventures, playing games, and spending time with fellow Scouts from across the Coastal Plains District.

And even with the rain, the final day still had a big highlight: a special visit from our scaly friends with Texas Snakes & More! 🐍 Scouts got an up-close look with snakes and a tortoise, learned something new, and had a memorable experience to help wrap up camp.

We ended the day the best way possible — with a pizza party and plenty of smiles. 🍕

It may not have been the dry finish we hoped for, but it was still a final day filled with Scouting spirit, teamwork, learning, and fun. Thank you to our Scouts, leaders, volunteers, staff, and families for rolling with the weather and helping make Day Camp a memorable adventure! 🏕️
