On any given holiday, you might find streets of The Dalles lined with waving American flags. Since the 1950’s, the flags have appeared as if by magic to inspire patriotism and pride in our town.
Boy Scout Troop 398 wants to unfurl more flags during holidays and is asking community members to help fund that endeavor.

Their goal is to more than double that number to add red, white and blue to more celebrations and observances.
