Flag Retirement Service
American Legion Post 156 conducts a quarterly Flag Retirement program. To date over 2,000 U.S.A. flags have been retired with honor. Boy Scouts, Venturers and volunteers are needed to participate in this event. This is an excellent opportunity for earning Journey to Excellence service hours!

The time frame for the Flag Retirement program is from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Thank you, Troops!
From the National Pike District Vice-Chair for Program:
While we may not do it enough, the District Committee would like to acknowledge the fine troops that helped Steve Tessier and his team make the 2017 Webelos-O-Ree another huge success: 75, 162, 305, 318, 361, 424, 540, 601, 613, 615, 618, 649, 702, 737, 759, 794, 851, 944, & 1997. When you get a chance, please remember to thank all the volunteers from these troops, both Scouts and Scouters - if it wasn't for the volunteers in our district, we wouldn't have such a great program.
YIS,
Howie "The Program Guy"
Inclement Weather Policy
The National Pike District follows the Howard County Public School System policy for cancellations due to inclement weather. When HCPSS cancels after-school or evening events, the district's activities - including Roundtables and the OA Chapter Meeting - are also cancelled for that afternoon and/or evening. The safety of our Scouts and Scouters is our primary concern.
