ScouterRob Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 My scouts are getting tired and hurt carrying the American Flag and the Unit flag. Does anyone has plans on how to create the Carrying Straps? I remember a long time ago(20 years), the scouts created their own. Any help highly appreacted.

Stosh Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Maybe for your leatherwork MB someone could make one that would be a little more practical than some of the projects I've seen pass. Stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuna Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Just buy 'em. Lots less trouble and they will adjust to fit big or little guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SctDad Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 http://www.united-states-flag.com/parade-flagpole-accesories.html I did not think they were that much. But for the right thing I guess you are going to pay the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 One has to be nuts to cough up $55 for a flag holder. A cloth/leather cup or cone attached to a long strap incorporated into a plastic back pack buckle and one has the same setup for about $10. Most units don't have $110 for two and $20 will be more than enough to solve the problem. Wide nylon webbing can be purchased at any camp store and the buckle will be rather cheap. For what it's worth, I always had my boys drop the end of the flag pole in the cargo pocket of the uniform. Works just fine and doesn't cost anythining.

SSScout Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Google "flag carrying belts" Then, too, they do make duct tape in colors now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahuna Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 We got ours from a local flag shop. They're reinforced webbing in white and cost a lot less than $55. I would keep on googling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
