Flag Program - Supporting the Boy Scouts
We partner with Boy Scout Troops to promote patriotism and pride in various neighborhoods in Colorado Springs. The Flag Program proceeds help to fund the many community service programs carried on by the Rotary Club of North Colorado Springs.
Available in select neighborhoods
Funding For Projects
The proceeds of this program are split 50/50 between the Boy Scout troops and the North Colorado Springs Rotary Club Foundation, a 501( c) 3, tax-exempt public charity. The Foundation utilizes the funds from this program to support its many services provided to the local community. The Boy Scouts use the money to offset their Troop’s expenses, including the costs involved in sending the boys to camp.
Participants donate $60 for 1 year of Flag Service or $90 for 2 years. The service provides for an American Flag to be posted in front of the donor’s property on 5 “Flag” holidays each year, including Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4, Labor Day, and Veterans Day.

How It Works
The proceeds of this program are split 50/50 between the Boy Scouts and the North Colorado Springs Rotary Club Foundation (NCSRCF), a 501(c) (3), tax-exempt public charity. The NCSRCF utilizes the funds from this program to support its humanitarian projects that address the issues of education
and poverty for those in need in our community. Scouts use the money for camping equipment, or other expenses related to their troop activities.

Origins
How the Symbol of Freedom Flag Program Began
In 2003, morale was low after terrorist attacks and conflict in the Middle East. The North Colorado Springs Rotary Club Foundation was a new initiative in Colorado Springs and sought a way to promote patriotism and honor our country. The flag program was born out of a desire to foster connectedness with the American spirit and pride for the people of Colorado Springs.
