Samuel Nairne of Boy Scout Troop 82 in Lockport lead a group of volunteers into making four flag retirement boxes.
The Town of Royalton is one of the four beneficiaries and the receptacle is now located at the town hall. The boxes were made so that anyone can easily dispose of the American flag in a proper manner when it is no longer in good shape. When the box is full, the Town can contact any local Boy Scout group to properly dispose of the flag in a respectful and ceremonious manner. Troop 82 holds a flag retirement ceremony annually.
This photo shows the Royalton town board with the flag retirement box.
