Ashton Taylor from Boy Scout Troop 50 in Wetumpka built three American flag retirement boxes as part of his Eagle Scout project.

"I've been working on my Eagle Scout project for the past year," Taylor said. "I purchased and established these Eagle Scout boxes for flag donations for U.S. flags that are worn, torn, and in need of disposal. The City of Wetumpka puts on a disposal event for these flags, where they properly burn them."
