With the assistance of Troop 109, Cub Scout Pack 778 and Cub Scout Pack 157, Jupiter Elks Lodge #2469 marked Flag Day by unveiling a newly installed American flag collection box in the lodge parking lot during their Flag Day celebration June 12. The box is for community members to properly dispose of worn flags, which will be retired by local scouts with a proper ceremony. The United States Postal Service does not donate or sell old boxes because too many people were placing mail in collection boxes that had been refurbished for other purposes, so the lodge purchased one online with funds from the Florida State Elks Association matching Elks National Foundation Beacon Grant. Troop 109 built the concrete slab for the box and Demented Graphics, a full-service print shop in Jupiter, Florida, donated the wrap graphics.
