Show your patriotism in 2026 by participating in the
Fly the Flag Project hosted by the
Friends of Fort Scott National Historic Site.
Fly the Flag Program
For an annual subscription of $40, volunteers will place a 3′ x 5′ American flag on a 12-foot staff at participating homes or businesses within the Fort Scott city limits on five national holidays:
Memorial Day
Flag Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Veterans Day
The program makes it easy to proudly display the Stars and Stripes without the hassle of purchasing, installing, or storing a flag and pole. Volunteers place the flags in the morning and remove them before sunset in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code.
Applications for new subscriptions and renewals are available at the Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce, and forms must be returned by March 31, 2026.
Proceeds from the Fly the Flag Project support programs at Fort Scott National Historic Site, including the Naturalization Ceremony, Candlelight Tour, Veterans Challenge Coins, and other special programs.
Help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary
and show your community pride by flying
the flag this year!
