Township Official Flag Raising Ceremony
On June 13, 2015 Cole Abell of Troop 78 chartered to
St. Francis
Zavier Church of Getysburg planned, supervised and executed the sourcing,
procurement and installation of a 25' commerical flagpole in front of the
Germany Township Municipal Building, as part of his Eagle Scout service project.
The success of this project is a result of the cooperative efforts of

The flagpole complements the

for which it exists.
