Scouting America · Troop 221
A flag at your curb on every patriotic holiday.
Subscribe for a year and the Scouts of Troop 221 will put up an American flag in your yard before each of five holidays, then come back and take it down. We store it and take care of it. You don't have to do anything. Every subscription helps pay for our campouts, gear and summer camp.

Questions
Frequently asked
What do I get for $60?
For a full year, Scouts put up an American flag in your yard before each of the five holidays and take it down afterward. The troop keeps the flag between holidays and replaces it when it gets worn.
Where do you place flags?
We serve the neighborhoods listed above in and around Madisonville. If you're not sure your street is on our route, email us before you pay and we'll let you know.
Will it damage my yard?
No. The flagpole slides over a short stake that we pull out when we pick up the flag, so nothing stays in your lawn.
Do I own the flag?
No. You're paying for the placement service. The troop owns the flags, stores them and keeps them in good condition.
What if the weather is bad?
Our Scouts' safety comes first. If there's a storm we may put the flag up late, take it down early, or skip that day.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Just email us. This is the troop's main fundraiser, so we can't refund the rest of the year once it has started.
Where does the money go?
Straight to Troop 221. It pays for campouts, camping gear, merit badge supplies and summer camp for our Scouts.
