If your American flag is ripped, stained, torn, faded, threadbare, or soiled, it's time for it to be retired.
No, the boxes will be checked regularly, so just drop the flag in the box and we'll take care of it.
No, only US American flags need proper retirement. Other decorative flags can be thrown away.
There are likely some boxes that can be purchased, but the ones used for my project were designed and built by me and my team. The 3 used in my project are the only ones we built so there aren't any others for sale.
US Flag code says that American flags should never be thrown away. Girl Scouts are able to properly retire American flags, which provides respect and gratitude to the symbol of freedom for our country.
