"Boise's Ahiska Turkish community joins an American tradition
When Ahiska Troop 700 meets, two flags are on display: the Boy Scout flag and the U.S. flag. Troop leader Far Arrington cut about a foot off each pole, making them shorter so the boys could hang the flags more easily.
The Scouts' expressions are serious, and their pressed uniforms bear newly sewn-on patches. The troop is made up almost entirely of refugees who range in age from 6 to 16 and who are members of Boise's growing Ahiska Turkish community.
