C.
The flags should not be displayed on days when the
weather is inclement. This decision is left to the Troop Committee
Chairman's discretion.
Display for nonpatriotic functions is nonconforming,
and any such request must be in writing to the Board and approved
by all members.
Troop 3 and Troop 1, Boy Scouts of America,
have been given the responsibility for the care and maintenance of
the flags and the holders for Main Street, Groton and for West Main
Street, West Groton, respectively, for which the Board is grateful.
