A leader is best when people barely know
he exists; not so good when people obey and
acclaim him; worst when they despise him.
But a good leader who talks little when hiswork is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say
We Did It Ourselves

Flag CeremonyThere are many variations of flag ceremony, some simple, some elaborate. It is up to the boys tochoose how they want to do it, though usually they choose the easier form. For specialoccasions, special ceremonies might be tried this is just one simple and basic version suitable fornew scouts. The caller calls out the following commands:
1. Troop Attention
2. Color Guard Attention
3. Color Guard Advance - Scout Hand SaluteAll scouts and audience, except color guard, salutes while the flag is brought forward andcontinues doing so until told to stop by the "Two" command.American flag marches up on the right hand sideAmerican flag crosses ahead of the troop flag (left shoulder to let shoulder)Color guard advances to just short of the flag stand and wait for further instruction.
4. Color Guard post the colorsThe Color Guard steps up to the flag stand and sets the flag into the flag stand.
Color guard then take one step back and then salute the flag.
5. Pledge of AllegianceMay recite the pledge of allegiance, or scout law, or scout oath, or not.If reciting the pledge of allegiance, then scouts salute the flag.If reciting the scout law or oath, then give the scout sign.The color guard does not salute until the flag has been posted.A person holding the flag does not recite the pledge of allegiance.

Flag Ceremony
6. TwoThe color guard and troop continue saluting the flag until the caller says"two", at which time all stop saluting.
7. Color Guard dismissedColor guard turns around and marches back.
They can go straight back, or uncross, or other.
8. Troop at easeTroop remains at ease but in formation and awaits further instructions.To be dismissed, the troop must first be called to attention, and then be commanded to dismiss.
When retiring the colors, and the color guard is marching away with the flags, the troop remains at attention tillthe flags have been carried to just behind the troop. At that time, the caller should say two and the troopstops saluting
It is also possible for the color guard to do its actions without being called to do so at every step of the way. Itcan make a very good impression when the color guard goes through its routine quietly. This takes practice,but can be done. With inexperienced boys, call each step out. With experienced boys, have them go throughsilently.
