Flags Across Atascadero

Your community spirit on display 4 times per year.

There is never enough time to honor pride of community. As your list of to-dos grows longer, let Troop 51 move posting a US flag to the top of our list. You will feel great about showing your community spirit and supporting local Scouts to become great leaders. We take care of the flag, pole, and mounting hardware.

Let our stars and stripes fly high

Your burden is relieved when we post a flag in the morning and remove it at night, with no effort by you. Our Scouts gain valuable experience and serve their community. Scouting provides experiential training in everything from basic camping skills to project management, along with building enduring community spirit.

We will post a US flag on a pole in front of your business in the morning, and removed at sunset on 4 key US holidays:

  • Presidents’ Day
  • Memorial Day
  • July 4th
  • Veterans Day

The placement of the flag will be along the street for maximum visibility and as close to your business as is reasonable. No storefront? No problem, the Scouts will place a flag in honor of your business at Sunken Gardens.

Need a US Flag in front of your business?

We are always looking to add more flags to local businesses, if you would like to join in let us know.

Stronger community through youth leadership

Troop 51 US Flag Committee:

  • Raechelle Bowley
  • Lakey Dawes

Boys Scouts of America Troop 51 was first established in Atascadero in 1928. The Troop was deactivated in the mid 1970’s but was reformed from a merger of Troops 155 and 226 effective January 1st, 2016. Troop 51 is co-sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Santa Lucia Council 3648 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2814.

The purpose for raising funds for Troop 51 is to expand Scouting activities in Atascadero and to eliminate financial constraints on Scouts and their families that would restrict their involvement in the Scouting program. It is our goal to create a process that will allow for ongoing funding to purchase equipment and supplies, and fund outings. We would like to create a funding source that affirms in our Scouts that they work to pay for their own program and not expect to be supported by donations alone.
