Flag Plaza-Scout Center stands prominently and proudly at the base of Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle, a short distance north of the Mellon Arena. Flag Plaza is a part of a patriotic and educational legacy given to the youth of America by Vivian W. Lehman, in loving memory of her husband Chester Hamilton Lehman. The glistening whitestone building is entrusted to Greater Pittsburgh Council, Boy Scouts of America.

Flag Plaza, with its five stately flag poles towering to 80 feet, is an extraordinary sight! Here fly, twenty-four hours a day, the living 50-star American Flag, the banner of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the crest of the City of Pittsburgh, the ensign of the Boy Scouts of America, and one of the historic forerunners of Old Glory. Visit Flag Plaza ... for student, Scout, tourist, or non-profit youth group, Flag Plaza is at once a lesson in history, civics, and love of country.
