Cub Scout Pack 527 (Fort Walton Beach) wants to ensure that every resident in Northwest Florida has an American flag displayed at their home during patriotic holidays.

  • This is part of a unique fundraiser for the Pack and will allow the Scouts to enhance their education of the flag while they are serving the community.

The flag subscription is $50 per household, per year. Scouts will install the flag for each of the holidays throughout the year and remove them once the holiday is over. The flags will be all-weather fabric and will be lit at night by a solar-powered light.

  • The flags will be a 3’x5′ flag displayed on a white pole.

“Pack 527 Scouts are committed to being an active member of the community and strive to live by the Scout Oath and Scout Law,” wrote the Pack in a press release.

Flags will be flown at subscriber’s homes on the following holidays:

  • President’s Day
  • Memorial Day
  • Flag Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Veteran’s Day
  • Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

Want to support these local Scouts with their goal? Contact ljpscubs527@gmail.com for more information.
