Troop 101 Citizenship Program

The troop has an extensive Citizenship Awareness program that encompasses several areas:

Historic Flags Program - The troop collects and displays historic flags.  Each flag has a tag attached to it that describes the flag and tells about its history.  Scouts from our own troop as well as other Scouts and the general public are attracted to the display at camps or special programs.  They tend to stop and read about some of the flags and learn a little more about our nation.

National Flag Foundation - Troop 101 is a member of the National Flag Foundation.  Besides using their resources to promote citizenship and proper respect for the flag, the troop assists with educational activities such as demonstrating and teaching the new flag retirement ceremony.

Troop 101 Color Guard - a volunteer program within the troop where Scouts drill to form an elite honor guard for Courts of Honor, camp ceremonies and other public ceremonies, when invited. Click on the link to learn more about it.

Community Service: Flag Retirement - Troop 101 and its Color Guard offer an ongoing service to the community for old flags.  Troop 101 will receive all old flags and see that they are properly disposed of in a ceremony that meets with the guidelines set forth by the National Flag Foundation.
