Ahwatukee BSA Troop 278 honored 9/11 today with a beautiful flag retirement ceremony.

We had 57 guests and retired over 20 flags last night. Here are a few pics of the Horizon Flag being retired. Others might have better ones.

Thank you Horizon Honors, Ahwatukee Foothills, Gila River District and Chandler Desert Breeze Park.

The Boy Scout Handbook explains, “As the symbol of America, it stands for the past, present, and future of our country. It represents our people, our land, and our many ways of life.”

Respect for our nation’s symbols are an integral part of being a reverent, responsible Scout. 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.

The BSA Handbook states: “When the national flag is worn beyond repair, burn it throughly and completely on a modest, but blazing, fire. This should be done in a simple manner with dignity and respect. Be sure the flag is reduced to ashes unrecognizable as a former flag.” Title 4 of the U.S. Flag Code also explains the same method as proper.
