Flag Day Ceremony

On Tuesday June 11th 2019, Scouts from the BSA Grand Columbia Council Skookum District took part in the Yakima Elks Lodge #318 for the Flag Day Ceremony.

The Flag Day Ceremony started around 7:00 PM. The Elks told the history of each flag as the Scouts brought the flags to the front of the room.

Once all the flags were up front then we said the Pledge of Allegiance.

This was a great event.
