Further questions on the marching thing

OK, now.
As I understand it, we don't do military style marching and drilling. So this
is really 2 questions.
1) At summer camp during retreat after the American flag is lowered, all
the troops march in review. They do a right column turn and then a right
flank turn. Then they pass "staff line" and salute the Camp Director who
salutes back. (Well, that's what I understand). So your telling me that this
is against BSA policy? Yes or No. There is this big competition who
does it the best. And it's all judged and recognized.
2) A couple of years ago, the guys in our troop started doing "collegiate"
style marching and drilling. Even to a novice like me, there is a difference.
The boys get a kick out of it. It's a little fancier than what I know to be
"military" style. (Please refer back to the part about me being a novice) Is
this taboo, too?
