Pack 195 Announces the Final Glory Project

Cub Scout Pack 195 of Hockley has launched their Final Glory Project to collect and retire worn American Flags.

 Scouts from the Webelos Cobra Den have been learning about being good citizens, the history of the U.S. flag and flag etiquette including how to dispose of the flag properly, when necessary.  The Scouts began to notice flags in the area that deserved to be respectfully retired.  Webelos Scout Wyatt said , “American flags deserve to be taken down when they are torn because it is disrespectful to our country to let them fly that way.” 

The Webelos would like to encourage residents and businesses in Waller County and Northwest Harris County to inspect your flag.  If your flag is worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, contact Pack 195 to arrange drop off or pick up of your flag.  Please let the scouts know about its history, for example: Where has it flown? How long? Any memorable events happen at that site? This information will be used in the retirement ceremony. 

Pack 195 invites you join them to honor our nation’s flag at a formal Flag Retirement Ceremony on December 19^th at 6:00 pm at the Kleb Woods Pavillion on FM 2920.  For more information about Pack 195’s Final Glory Project, please contact Committee Member Pat McKeever at 281-924-2509.
