Host
Interested in opening up your public location as an official 9/11 Salute venue? We are looking for civic organizations, parks, churches, and other locations to open their locations as official venues.
What does hosting entail?
- Choose a the salute time (30 minutes, one hour, two hours, dawn to dusk, or whatever works best)
- Provide a flag and the location for Scouts and community members to gather and salute
- Determine the method of salute — all participants salute for the full duration? Participants cycle in for 1-10 minutes?
- Provide necessary infrastructure (restrooms, parking, water)
Example Salutes:
Venue that can support hundreds of people: Multi-hour event where participants arrive on their own schedule. Participants line up in a series of lines (of a dozen or so people) facing the flag. The line closest to the flag salutes for 2-5 minutes and then marches off on queue. The next line advances and salutes for 2-5 minutes.
Medium venues: 1-3 hour salutes where participants take part in a continual salute. Participant arrive, join, and salute for their own desired durations.
Small venues: 20 minutes – 1 hour salute where participants salute the entire time.
