  • Flags are kept by David Philpot.  His phone number is 515-7789. 
  • The trailer and flags will be at Scout Square on the morning of your duty by 7:00 am.
  • The trailer has a 2" ball.  Let David know ahead of time if you need help pulling it.  
  • Remember to notify the Vestavia Hills Police department one week in advance of activity so they can provide an escort while the flags are being placed or removed.  (Eddie Crimm @ 978-0119).
  • There are approximately 125 flags. The flag positions are marked with white traffic paint on the
    north side of Hwy 31. There is a sleeve at any point where you see a star just inside of the yellow
    line.
  • There are 22 flag positions on Columbiana Road in the green section across from the
    Columbiana Crossing shopping center. Please have someone from your troop go and take a look
    at these prior to putting up the flags. It will make putting the flags up a lot easier if the positions
    are known before hand. They are marked the same as Hwy 31.

  • The flags go up between Sybil Temple and I-65 on Hwy 31 and between Dominoes Pizza and Shades Crest on Columbiana.
  • Submit your Flag Duty Report to David Philpot within 30 days - jdphilpo@gmail.com
  • ​Please be careful not to bend the poles as they are not cheap.  When taking the flags down, the tops of the poles go the the front of the trailer.
  • Please send your report to Warren Poe when you are done - wlpvh1@gmail.com
