EVERETT — For two years, Snohomish County has partnered with a Lake Stevens Scouting America troop to ceremoniously retire hundreds of American flags on Flag Day.

This year, the process was recorded and posted to multiple social media platforms. Those posts generated more reactions than any other Public Works post.

“When you get onto social media and the first thing you see are a bunch of kids burning a flag, I mean, that’s going to catch your — get your attention,” Public Works spokesperson Bill Craig said in an interview Wednesday. “People have their own ideas, and no matter what you tell them, they are just going to want to do what they know to be right.”

An overwhelming number of the public comments were positive, Craig said. However, some people criticized the scouts’ process, he added.

These idiots don't know but per flag etiquette that's what you do with a worn-out flag.
