The Troop and Crew from 707 and 719 are gearing up for the 2013 installment of the Lake Highlands American Flag Project.

We'd like to offer the residents of Lake Highlands (Dallas), Texas a great opportunity to demonstrate your pride in our great country while supporting scouting in Lake Highlands!

What: The Lake Highlands American Flag Project. A neighborhood community service project focusing on community pride and a love for the United States of America.

Why: To show our patriotic spirit and help Lake Highlands Boy Scout Troops/Venturing Crews 707 and 719 raise funds for campouts, summer and winter camps and equipment.

When: Six deployments per year: President’s Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4^th of July, September 11 and Veteran’s Day. Flags are posted at dawn and removed at dusk on these days.

Where: The Lake Highlands American Flag Project will place a 3x5 foot American Flag on a 10-foot pole in front of each house located in the grass outside the sidewalk uniformly positioned throughout the entire block.

Our boundaries this year include: Plano Rd to Northwest Hwy to Merriman Park to Royal Lane/Ferndale (south of LBJ). See here for a Google map of the boundaries.

If you are a returning subscriber, the fee is still only $50.00 for the year. If you are a new subscriber, the first-year fee is $75.00 and then $50.00 per year thereafter. As always, the scouts would appreciate any additional donation you might be able to add, as this summer is packed with scouts going to several High Adventure destinations, as well as (possibly) the World Jamboree next year in Japan. Airfare is sky high, so any extra will go a long way. More details about the Flag Project can be found on our Flag website, where interested residents can subscribe to be a part of the Flag Project. 

Thank you all for your support over the past several years. It really makes us proud to make a difference in our community. It is you all out there that make this possible.
