I feel I should explicate a small bit.
The Hash House Harriers — the original story is correct in calling them “world-wide,” as there are chapters on every inhabited continent — are basically “hounds” who chase “rabbits.” They show up early in the morning, and wait for the first clue. They chase that clue to the next clue.
These clues lead them over hill, over dale, through brush and through brier. During these chases, they frequently stop and have a beer. Beer stands are more well-distributed than clues. Hashers may do many things some folks disapprove of, but thy never take themselves too seriously.
It’s basically beer-soaked, athletic scavenger hunt. I like the idea. And marking the trail with flour, which will harm nothing and no one, and disappear in the next rain, isn’t a bad idea. But anything involving white powder in the current climate should have given someone pause.

Granted white powder can be problematic. However in this case having it leading up to flags should give them a clue.
Perhaps ask questions about it. Break out the hazmat team?
