HometownTV reporter Drew Cobb ventures to Ackley Park in Elk City for an exclusive interview with Girl Scout Leader Julie Western. In this captivating conversation, Julie enlightens us about their upcoming Service Unit Event and the Girl Scout tradition of properly retiring American flags to serve the community.
The Service Unit Event, set against the scenic backdrop of Elk Lake, promises an array of fun activities for participants. From engaging in outdoor art projects to trying their hand at leather making and knot tying, the event has something for everyone. However, the highlight of the day will be teaching the girls how to conduct flag retirement ceremonies, an essential part of Girl Scout heritage.
If you have an American flag that you would like to retire with dignity, simply bring it to Julie’s office located at 3rd St and N. Van Buren, or get in touch with a Girl Scout leader. They are committed to ensuring a proper retirement for these cherished symbols of our nation.

During the interview, Julie proudly announces the outstanding achievement of her daughter and two other local Girl Scouts who have joined the prestigious 600 Club this year. These exceptional individuals have sold over 600 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, showcasing their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.
Join us at Ackley Park as we celebrate the Girl Scout Service Unit Event and honor the Girl Scout tradition of flag retirement ceremonies. Let’s come together to create unforgettable memories and make a difference in our community.
