jblake47 you wrote It takes only about 15 minutes to read the entire US Flag Code, it would help the discussion if everyone actually knew what it said, (and what it does not say). Myths: 6) The US Flag goes on the right end of a line of flags in a parade. jblake47 wrote Most people have never really read the US Flag Code, but seem to know an awful lot about it. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7 The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flags own right, or, if there is a li

Man yall all seem to be exceptional troops... In Troop 6 in the 80's we rarely had more than 7 boys at a Time... we had no choice but to stay in a Patrol... I think the largest i ever saw it was 13 Boy Scouts at one time

Problem is.. Camping is not a "Whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander" situation.. Basic Rules to start with.. Do not plan more than 1 Activity over night a Month as a Pack.. Here is how we basically broke down this Year in Our Pack September new Members join ...Popcorn Sale..no extra activity October....council wide Cub-n-Pal Camping..No extra Activity November...Pack Lock in over night at sponsoring church... Participated in City Veteran's Day parade December..Participated in City Christmas Parade..Night at the Museum January...Pack-out at a Local Camp..Space

Back in the 1980's when I was elected to the Order of The Arrow in our Lodge it was customary to "carry" or "store" you Order of the Arrow Sash on you Belt..As long as it was folded to have the Arrow pointed up..and once a Member of the OA it was considered part of your Scout Uniform. Our Troop had uniform inspections and if you were an OA member and you were not carrying your sash you lost points just like not having your tote-n-ship on you. However it was Only to be Worn at OA Functions or Events representing OA with the Arrow pointed up and over the Right Shoulder. The Key is Worn vs Stored

Our Pack has 1 Pack Meeting a Month usually reserved for passing out awards and Achievements.. If Pack has an Activity it takes place of the regular Pack Meeting. Such as participating in the City Veteran's Day Parade, The City's Christmas Parade, A night at the museum. We do not schedule to many Pack Activities. We do have a Lock in at our sponsoring Church, we have a Camp out at a Local Camp with Cabins which is great because no need for a lot of camping items..as there are bunk beds..Two adults and 8 kids per cabin..A Large Mess Hall where more adults can sleep around a huge Fireplace.

Like most people have already pointed out as long as you follow protocol and do it with dignity I see nothing wrong with an indoor flag raising ceremony. Yes There is no official rules about an indoor flag raising. Use an appropriate sized Flag. When Raising/lowering the Flag Never allow it to touch the Ground. allow enough room for the American Flag to be in a upright position..it is never dipped Union is always on the Flag's own upper right (viewer's left) Most Scouts do not have a building tall enough for a really Dramatic Flag raising or lowering. I recommend using
