The Chaplain's Corner
by Scarlett Griffin, Chaplain
Psalm 116:15
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants."
Memorial Day is Monday, May 26. It is the day we honor and remember those who died to protect our freedoms. It is the day we show reverence towards those men and women who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. May God also bless those loved ones left behind. Most critical, it is our responsibility to teach our children, the ones who will carry America’s ideals into the future to understand the seriousness of this commitment. Remember it is our country, the most powerful, influential country in the world that we honor. It is our heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid for it is on our shoulders to be the beacon that shines..Amen.

Americanism Committee
Central Florida Council, Scouting America (FKA Boy Scouts of America), is hosting a council-wide flag retirement ceremony on Saturday evening, June 14th, National Flag Day, in multiple locations throughout Central Florida. Though BSA has historically partnered with local VFWs and other organizations to conduct flag retirement ceremonies, our vision with this event is to conduct a larger, though still somber and reverent, BSA-hosted and community-oriented ceremony. Our goal is to provide education to both our community as well as the less experienced units in our district and council, through the efforts of our more experienced units, as to the appropriate time to retire American flags and the proper way to do so. This education should also allow our less experienced units to then take this knowledge with them and hold their own ceremonies local to their communities throughout the year. This event will be entirely led and conducted by our Scouts from multiple units with adult leader supervision. All Scouting Units are invited to attend and participate. This event is also open to the public, who are encouraged to attend as well.
