For more than thirty years, National Flag Foundation has been America's leading non-profit patriotic organization devoted to promoting respect for our nation's most important symbol: The Flag of the United States of America. The Foundation's mission is to teach the youth of America to have pride for the flag and to become more responsible citizens.

The close relationship between the Greater Pittsburgh Scout Council and the National Flag Foundation is unsurprising when you know the foundation's beginnings. It was started by George F. Cahill, the Pittsburgh council's Scout executive from 1961 to 1976. Cahill, an Air Force veteran of World War II and a fervent patriot, recalled that he had been offended by the absence of U.S. flags on Midwestern campuses in the postwar years when he was a student at Purdue University and president of the university's Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity.
