American Legion Spring Cleanup and Flag Retirement - April 5th

Posted on Mar 26 2025 - 4:13pm

The American Legion Post 437 will be holding a spring cleanup of their grounds and an informal Flag retirement event.

This is a great way to give back to our sponsoring organization and help keep the property looking nice.

The cleanup activities will be leaf blowing, weeding, mulching planting beds, litter cleanup, and other related tasks.

As you might remember, the Legion had to cancel their Flag Day ceremony last year, and they have a large number of flags that need to be retired.  Once the cleanup is done, they will be conducting an information retirement of the flags they have that are no longer serviceable.

The Legion will be providing lunch.

Arrive at Resolute: 10 AM on Saturday, April 12th
Pickup at Resolute: 10 AM on Sunday, April 13th 
Cost: $25 for overnight camping, lunch, dinner, cracker barrel & Breakfast

This trip will feature a Merit Badge Bonanza where several merit badges that can be completed in one day will be offered.  We hope all scouts can complete one or two badges at this campout.  An exact list of badges that will be offered will be announced as the trip approaches.

The patrols will also be competing in an Iron Chef cooking competition!  Does your patrol have what it takes to wow and delight the judges with your culinary skills and teamwork?  All patrols will be required to utilize a challenge ingredient in their dinner meal.

 There will also be our usual evening campfire and likely opportunity for board or card games. Bring your favorite game to share with your fellow scouts!
