Thank you, Crew21_Adv! Our leaders were amazed at how quickly we got an answer- in just a few hours! We looked everywhere else, until I decided to register with Scouter.com and see if other Scouters would know. Our Scoutmaster is a wonderful storyteller, so I know it will be very moving at the Camporee bonfire, and a nice segue into the flag retirement ceremony. Thanks for your suggestions. Some great ideas to think about.

Our troop is hosting Fall Camporee (with a lot of help) and we wanted to use an old story (my husband told me about) as a lead-in to a short Flag Retirement Ceremony during the bonfire. He heard this story told at Camp Napawan in Wisconsin on a Webelos Weekend in Summer 2000. Does anyone know this story? Something about a POW in Vietnam who kept making small American flags out of anything he could find. He would hold it up and show the other American POW's (he might have been in a cage) to boost their morale. The North Vietnamese would keep "catching" him, take away his homemade flag
