Erie celebrates Eagle Scout who installed flag retirement boxes
Summary
Town recognizes local Eagle Scout Jeremiah for installing flag collection boxes around Erie; boxes are located at Town Hall, the Erie Community Center, Clayton Park and Columbine Mine Park and collected about 80 flags in the first three weeks.
The council took a moment Oct. 14 to honor local Eagle Scout Jeremiah (last name given as Havron in one slide and Abrams in the presentation transcript) and members of Troop 62 for installing flag retirement collection boxes around Erie.
Kathy Kron, Development and Neighborhood Services Division Manager for Parks & Recreation, introduced a 90‑second celebration video and said the boxes — installed at Town Hall, the Erie Community Center, Clayton Park and Columbine Mine Park — give residents a respectful place to retire worn U.S. flags. Kron said Troop 62 collected roughly 80 flags in the first three weeks after installation and thanked Jeremiah and the scout leaders for coordinating the project with town staff.
Deputy Town Manager Melissa Wiley invited council and the public to take photos with the scouts after the video. The council offered congratulations and the meeting proceeded to its next agenda item.
