Re: Den Flags

David,
Many of the Packs that I have visited over the years have found it
expedient to buy the standard issue Den Flags from the Supply Service
either through the catalog or a Scout Shop. The flags are blue and have
the Den number in yellow centered in a yellow diamond. Most Packs present
awards on stringers that can be attached to the pole. At the end of the
year the awards are passed out to the Scouts as keepsakes and the flag is
recycled to a new den, if the den is disbanding. Home-made flags are a
rarer sight, but tend to have the virtue of building teamwork during their
design and decoration. I wouldn't use a national ensign as a Den flag -
its poor flag ettiquette. We should be teaching Scouts to give respect to
all national ensigns as much as our own. Hope that helps.
