Troop 88 Boy Scouts took part in a flag ceremony on Saturday to dedicate a new 25-foot flag pole at Shackley Retirement Village in Lexington. The new structure was donated in memory of the late Paul Matson by his father, Pastor John Craig, a Shackley resident. Paul Matson, 62, of Johnson Lake, died October 10th. The flag pole dedication ceremony took on added significance as Matson was one of the initial adult leaders of Troop 88 when it was founded, 21 years ago. Paul's son, Aaron Matson, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in 1994, as a member of the Troop. He now resides in Omaha. Pastor Craig also has deep roots in scouting, having served as Scoutmaster in Noble, Oklahoma and Hannibal, Missouri. Pastor Craig also wants the flag pole to stand as a tribute to United States military veterans who reside at or will reside at Shackley Retirement Village.
