robvio Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Help! Where do you get one? Do you have to order it through council? Can it be made second hand or by the boys like the Patrol flag? HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infoscouter Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 They have to be ordered through your Scout Shop or directly from National Supply. here is a link to the order form: http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/images/pdfs/70-381.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SctDad Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Try this link. YOu should only be able to get them from national. http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/images/pdfs/70-381.pdf I know when I got our pack flag the falg alone was $40 and the lettering cost us another $70. So look at what you want to say on the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthmn Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Friends of Scouting offers a Troop flag if the Troop goal is exceeded here - check with your district FOS chair for details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshorvath Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The link does not work anymore. Where can we order the troop flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSScout Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 When you get your new flag (sounds like a new Troop?) , have a little cermony with /in/ for your CO. Make the boys aware of the history they are beginning. Take the halyard strip of the flag and have the new SM and IH sign it, perhaps. Date it, in indelible ink (does India ink mean the same nowaday?) . Our Troop recently replaced the old flag. It was the "original" , made with a wool/cotton blend, I think. We had a small ceremony at a CoH to mark the renewal, the flag was more than 50 years old at that point. We had a few old timers present and were able to make that connection to the past history of the Troop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Personally, I think that making a troop flag would be FAR superior to buying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFL49 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I recently ordered one from National Supply using this form: http://www.scoutstuff.org/media/content/docs/pdfs/Flag_Order_Form.pdf Customer service was helpful and the flag arrived in about 4 weeks. I believe if you order the flag through your local Scout Shop, you do not pay for shipping (but I could be mistaken). Don't forget to order the flag pole and flag topper (if you need them). Same for the flag stand. Also - flag storage bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Flag pole: an old closet pole of suitable length. Topper: Carved tree branch knee. Flag stand: 1948 Chevy truck brake drum, welded pipe (donated welding), green paint from leftover gallon from cellar door project. Still in use, lo these many years.

GKlose Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 By the way, a couple of years ago, in one of the "Scout Stuff" catalogs that was mailed out, there was a page that described a "small format" troop flag. I think it is around 16"x24". Had a small problem ordering it through the local Scout Shop -- they didn't know it existed, but were convinced after seeing the catalog. Anyway, we ordered one, and it goes on every outing with us now. We bought a small American Flag too that matches the size. The strangest part about that: try and find a similar American Flag that isn't made in China. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infoscouter Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The flags they sell through the BSA (Scoutstuff or at National Scout shops) are made by Annin, a US manufacturer. http://www.annin.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
