Story:

Ryan is a Life Scout with Troop 9 in Palmyra, NJ, and he is working toward earning his Eagle Scout rank. For his Eagle Project, he is raising funds to purchase approximately 60 new American flags and repair 100 flag poles for the Borough of Riverton. These flags are proudly displayed during the town’s annual 4th of July parade and other patriotic events.

Ryan has been part of this tradition since Cub Scouts, and he continues to volunteer as a Scout with his Troop each year placing and removing the flags. In 2025, he noticed many poles were missing flags while others were worn and in need of replacement. He was inspired to take action to restore and preserve this important community event.

This project will help Riverton prepare for the 250th anniversary of the United States. Ryan plans to lead a flag retirement ceremony to retire worn flags from Riverton and other communities.

Funds Needed:

Ryan has made great progress but needs additional funds to complete the project, including purchasing additional flags and replacing missing finials.

How to Help:

Please consider supporting Ryan’s Eagle Scout Project. Any amount is greatly appreciated and will help honor our community and country.
