ORDERING AND SUBSCRIPTION
FLAG DELIVERY
FLAGS AND FLAG ETIQUETTE
Our scouts will deliver and set up your flag a few days prior to the designated holiday. Scouts will then return after the holiday to retrieve the flag. We take care of everything from storage to maintenance and upkeep.
Scouts earn money from the subscription for each flag they place each holiday, and they choose how many flags they want to cover each holiday. They can use this money for anything scouting related - from personal equipment like hiking boots or backpacks, to trip costs such as summer camp or High Adventure (Philmont, BWCA, Sea Base, etc.).
Flags are 3′ x 5′ and attached to a 7′ pole. At the start of the subscription, we come by and place a "flag spike" in the grass (about 2' in from the curb and 2' away from the driveway when possible) which allows the pole to placed and removed easily while limiting damage the pole or the yard through repeatedly trying to force it directly into a new hole each time. This "spike" is a white tube that we insert into the ground and sits flush with the dirt, allowing it to remain year-round without fear of moving over it. Occasionally a section of the flag will get damaged while on display. If it is severe, please let us know via the contact form. Otherwise we'll note it at pickup and make the necessary repairs or replacements.
Please note, this is a flag subscription service; you are not purchasing the flag or pole itself.
