Thanks to Mr. Shaw for arranging our recent Go See It trip on Saturday, November 1st, to the 911th air Force Base in Moon Township, PA to view their flag ceremony. We all had a great time and it was very exciting to see the Air Force men and women in uniform and in formation, and watch them fold the flag just like we did at our last den meeting.
The Wolves (and one Bear along to keep the peace) arrive at the base and line up in formation before the flag ceremony begins.
The base's flags.
One more salute for the camera before assembling on the steps.
The cubs gather on the steps to watch the flag detail.
Out come the reservists.
Standing at attention to await the bugle call.
After the formation and the bugle, the detail prepares to take in the flag.
The commander in charge signals the Cub Scouts to join the ceremony.
After lowering, the detail folds the flag.
The scouts salute as the flag is taken inside.
Brendan gets to hold the folded flag (just for a little while)
