Troop 44 Raises New Flags at Harris County Flood Control District

October 18, 2010
Boy Scout Troop 44, together with their scoutmaster and staff of the Harris County Flood Control District, recently said farewell to weathered U.S. and Texas flags at the Flood Control District's North Service Center at Beltway 8 and U.S. Highway 249. New flags were raised in their place, and the old flags were taken by Troop 44 for a proper retirement ceremony to take place later this fall.

"We work with various scouts throughout the year who are earning their Eagle Scout badges or conservation awards," said Heather Saucier, spokeswoman for the Flood Control District. "Our scouts provide a great service to the Flood Control District and to our community, and hopefully we're able to help them learn along the way."

Troop 44 Scouts Taylor Hanath-Culp, Diego Ruvalcaba, Clayton Marshall and Damian Wilkerson, and Scoutmaster Lance Wilkerson conducted a solemn flag lowering and raising ceremony. Troop 44 is located in the Sam Houston Area Council, Big Cypress District. The scouts attend various schools in the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District.
