INTERNATIONAL FLAGS
The International Division has flags of other nations available for loan to local councils.
Flags are 4x6 feet in size and are maintained for each of the more than 130 nations that have member Scout Associations of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. The International Scouting Flag is also available.
Normally not more than 12 flags are loaned at a time. Borrowing councils must pay the return shipping costs and insure each flag for $75 in shipment. The council will be charged for any loss or damage to flags not covered by shipping insurance. This can range from $25 to $75 each.
