The flag disposal drop box is unveiled.

Boy Scout troops all over the nation perform American flag retirement ceremonies, taking flags that were donated to them by businesses and individuals and disposing of them in the proper fashion. According to the United States Flag Code, when a flag becomes too worn for display, it should be retired in a dignified way, typically by burning. Jacob Vaughn of Culloden, a member of Troop 236, decided to create a flag disposal box as part of his Eagle Scout Project. The community can use this special drop box to discard old, faded, and worn-out American flags, and the Boy Scouts will dispose of them properly.
