Boy Scout Troop 60 of Omak gathered Wednesday, April 6, at the Okanogan PUD Headquarters to retire both the Washington State flag and the American Flag that flew over the building. Etiquette dictates that flags that are torn, faded, frayed or discolored are considered unserviceable and should not be flown. Scout Master Rob Chilcote led the contingent of eight Boy Scouts and one Eagle Scout through the ritual. Although the participants are out of school for Spring Break, they considered it an honor to take part in the Flag Retirement Ceremony.
