FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Why?

Boy Scout Troop 355 is away at camp and needs the community’s help to set out and take in the flags. The troop members set out the flags about 10 times a year on most of the federal holidays but relies on the community for the 4th of July.

How long will it take?

It takes about 45-60 minutes from start to finish if we have 12 volunteers.

What time should I arrive at the church?

Meet at the church at 6:15am and/or 6:15pm so that we can start on time

How far will I need to walk?

Volunteers should be prepared to walk 3/4 mile

Can kids help?

Kids can help if accompanied by an adult. They must be able to walk 3/4 mile and be tall enough and strong enough to hold the flags on the poles without having the flags touch the ground.

Can I get community service hours?

Casa de Oro Alliance can give community service hours. You’ll receive 1 hour for the morning shift and 1 hour for the evening shift.

Thank you for your continued support.
