Retiring the Colors with USS Constitution


Hey everyone, head over to our Facebook page to follow the link to the USS Constitution's page. At 12 CST daily they are doing virtual tours on Facebook Live and tonight at 5:45 CST they will do the evening flag retirement.

We will have a watch party together!  So, set your phone reminders to log in and join us.  They will answer questions live during both.

If you have a Scout who needs "participation in a flag ceremony" we are in the middle of unchartered waters where we will completely follow our mantra of "DO YOUR BEST" and so, for now, if THIS is what we can do to see that they are apart of a flag ceremony, then we will take it! Therefore, make plans to join us at 5:45 CST through the Facebook Live streaming of the flag retirement.

Jump on Facebook Live tonight at 5:45 pm and watch the soldiers of the USS Constitution do their evening flag ceremony live. If you want to join for the live tour of the ship, it's at 12:00 noon (1 EST) on their facebook page.

From their post:

By special request during today’s virtual tour, we will be going live again tonight for evening colors at 6:45 p.m. ET (545 CST) this is the ceremony where we fire our gun (cannon) play taps and lower the National Ensign (American flag) for the evening. Join us and let us know if you have a question we haven’t answered yet.
