Scout Troop 43, based in Brainerd, Minnesota, is embodying the true spirit of Scouting through their community service project to gather, fold, and store all flags after the Memorial Day ceremony held at Evergreen Cemetery.

With unwavering dedication, these Scouts ensure that the flags, each dedicated to a veteran, are treated with the utmost respect. They carefully gather the flags, ensuring that none are left behind. With precision and care, they fold each flag, honoring the memory of the veteran it represents.

Finally, they store the flags in order, ensuring that they are properly preserved for use in the following year’s ceremony.
