Old Glory

The most valuable object in the Troop's possession is the American Flag.  While most people get to see the American Flag daily few will have the opportunity to touch the flag or present it on a regular basis.  As a Scout you have the unique honor of doing this regularly as part of every Scout meeting.  However, there some occasions when the flag is directly handled and folded for presentation, storage or special commemorations.  Navigate to this link to learn the proper procedures for honoring the American Flag by handling it properly while it is being folded.  Remember that you have sworn to do your duty to your country every time you recite the Scout Oath.  One of the many ways in which you can embody this oath is to treat the American Flag with the respect that it justly deserves.
