Showing the Scout

[RememberSchiff 3712]

I made my 7am senior citizen shopping trip this morning.

Usually this day, Patriots' Day, sometimes called Boston Marathon Day has everyone - runners, wannabes, families - running around all day. I was the only one on Main Street. Had I  left  the house earlier, I would have seen  a local tree service  placing  new American flags on Main Street's utility poles . New flags, the glow bright kind made in America.  As I drove East, the  rising sun  stunningly back-lit all those flags.  I thought of other times when our Flag shown through adversity and the uplifting effect it had. 

IMHO Scouts. should  do as well. 

Maybe at the start of a virtual troop or patrol meeting, each scout should go outside with the flag  and perform an individual opening ceremony curbside.  

Put a large Scout emblem on front door , but ask Mom's permission before removing teddy bear which may be already there.

Other ideas?
