Boy Scouts Schedule Annual Flag Retirement

May 1, 2017
E. Freetown, Massachusetts.
In 2016 thousands of tired and worn American Flags gathered from drop off points in New Bedford, Lakeville, Freetown and Fall River were burned in a solemn ceremony at Cathedral Camp by the Scouts.
Troop 333 St. John Neumann Church, East Freetown, will sponsor their 2017 retirement ceremony at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 3rd at their Eagle’s Nest camp site located on the grounds of Cathedral Camp. The public is welcome to attend the ceremony.
American and POW-MIA flags for retirement may be left at Rock Funeral Home in New Bedford, (1285 Ashley Boulevard), the Town Hall Town Clerk’s Offices in Lakeville and Freetown, the Freetown Police Department and the Fall River Veterans' Center (755 Pine Street).
Individuals, cities, towns, fraternal and veterans groups and businesses in the area should drop off flags to any location or contact the Troop Committee Chairman Mike McCormack at 508-998-1218 or e-mail ccTroop333CC@gmail.com.
