Scouts Will Hold Flag Retirement Ceremony By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Boy Scout Troop 58, in conjunction with Cub Scout Pack 58 and the Willow Street Fire Company, will host a flag retirement ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 6 p.m. A temporary fire pit will be set up in the field behind the fire station, 2901 Willow Street Pike, Willow Street, and folks may bring chairs to set up around it. Scoutmaster Dave Haas explained that after a number of years without a flag retirement ceremony, the troop’s charter organization, Willow Street Lions Club, last year asked the troop to resurrect the event. The group has opted to hold one on every Veterans Day and Flag Day. The upcoming event will be held at the fire station in hopes of increasing the event’s
visibility, Haas noted. “It’s us trying to give back on that day,” he said. “This troop is part of the community of Willow Street,” said deputy chief Dave Reese, explaining why the fire company had agreed to host the ceremony. “(We support) teaching the Scouts that you don’t just take our nation’s symbol and throw it in the trash.” United States flags cannot just be tossed on a fire. Instead, retired flags are prepared to burn by being cut apart in specific sections, and the troop members have taken care of that for all of the flags that have been donated to the group. Folks may bring worn-out flags to the ceremony, but these will be disposed of at a later time due to the preparation required. See Flag Retirement pg 6

The response to the archery hunts scheduled for Pequea Township’s Silver Mine Park, 200 Silver Mine Road, Conestoga, was predominantly positive. However, as a result of a legal challenge, the hunt was canceled, and all participants’ entry fees were refunded. Hunters may rejoice, though, as another hunt has been scheduled and a new permitting process has been established. The hunt will be held during the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s late archery season on Wednesday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019. Hunting will be authorized with a Pequea Township Wildlife Management Archery Hunt permit, and only 96 permits will be issued through a random drawing.
