Boy Scout Troop 56
“Stars & Stripes Across Humble” Flag Program
Have you ever noticed all the flags that are uniformly displayed on manyhomes in our neighborhoods on Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July andLabor Day? It is quite a stirring, patriotic sight. If you would like to have a flag displayed in front of your house on those holidays, you need to contact the Boy Scouts of Troop 56, chartered by the Atascocita United Methodist Church. For a fee of $25, the Boy Scouts will display a 3x5 foot US Flag in front of your house four times per year. The Troop is currently taking subscriptions for the 2011 season. Only the neighborhoods of Pinehurst, Pines, Shores and the Oaks are serviced by Troop 56. You can get the subscription form and more information from the Troop 56 Website at
http://www.troop56.mytroop.us. As a service project to the community, Troop 56 also displays flags in the medians of our major thoroughfares. The majority of the money raised is used for equipment and camping trips throughout the year.
