Dimemaker 10 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well after tonights pack meeting it was Discovered that our packs Flagpoles are pretty much shot. IE the brass joiner of the two sections are stripped and pretty much useless. I was just wondering if people out there knew of a better solution than perhaps the poles that BSA supply have? From what I have heard the stripping and seperation of the hardware is a common problem. We are a fairly mobile pack so we are constantly taking our poles apart and stowing them.

jeff-o 10 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Our Troop found some sticks and cut (and carved) them to make flagpoles. Sure, they don't fold up when we transport them, but they still fit in a car. Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We've had the same problem with the joiners. The simplest solution is just to use a pole that doesn't come apart in the middle, if that will work for you. Link to post Share on other sites
SSScout 1615 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If you are not that concerned with "pretty", go to your plumber, he can thread some pipe for you and make a take-apart pole for you. Link to post Share on other sites
