Baseballfan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So, I'm looking for ideas on flying a flag to be given at an ECoH. Is it possible to fly a flag over Gilwell (British or American) for this purpose? Does anyone have any other unique ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your state senator or representative's office can assist with having a flag flown over the Capitol, and an accompanying certificate, sent to the Eagle Scout. Most charge a feee for it, and many allow you to submit the request through their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The request can be done via representative website. Here is a handy sheet on the process - http://americanflagfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/How-to-Order-Flag-over-Capitol-Rev..pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortridge Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Make it personal to the Scout - get a flag and take it on a tour. Fly it over their favorite summer camp, at the state park where he had his first campout, over the lake they learned to canoe on (that one will be trickier), etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotteg83 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 our last Eagle scout received a flag that was flown over our capital, and another that was flown over the White House (or maybe somewhere else in DC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JodieGraham Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 First, talk to a state representative to have it massive, but in case it doesn't work out you can make it more local and fly it over your favorite scout destinations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
