Warning on Sale of Cemetery Memorabilia

 In the same cemetery where I found the above marker, I also found three or four more like it each commemorating a scout in his teens who died in the 1920s.I have also found one to a scoutmaster in another county which I am aslo including here. It is a more recent one.The Boy Scount Member flagholders are not common. I have found them in only three cemeteries out of hundreds visited so far, and they all seem to date from the 1920s and 1930s.

Several of these, mounted on crosses, were found in a
State of Maine cemetery Sept. 2000.
