In 2021, Boy Scout Troop 39 and Sons of the American Legion Squadron 185 of Mount Joy received donations from local businesses and individuals toward their "American Flags on Main Street" program. Donations to the initiative are divided equally between the two organizations, which help to support Americanism and community projects.
Flags are displayed eight times per year on holidays. Squadron 185 puts the flags up at dawn, and Troop 39 takes them down at dusk.
For a nominal donation, the organizations will display a flag in front of the donor's business or residence along Main Street in Mount Joy. Anyone interested in displaying a flag in 2022 may contact Scott Baker at mountjoysquadron185@yahoo.com or 717-653-9484.
