Good Job.
In July, I gave about eight one hour sessions to a few hundred Cub Scouts at Day camp about flag skills. Raising, lowering, folding, trivia, burned a few of them for disposal. I left them with a charge to keep their eyes out for improper flag use, especially faded or torn flags on display and to ask the owner of the flag to replace it.
“especially faded or torn flags on display and to ask the owner of the flag to replace it”
One of my major pet peeves when it comes to flags - if you care enough to fly it, care enough to replace it with a new one when it becomes torn, frayed, or faded. If you can’t be bothered to take proper care of it, don’t bother flying it at all.
Thank you for teaching those young men to “do their best”. My late in life son (7yrs old, I’m almost 53), led a flag ceremony during a weekend cub camp back in May, while he was still a Tiger. Our Pack is off for the summer (we are all home-schoolers), but we start up again in two weeks. He’s got his Wolf Badge requirements done, enough electives for three arrow points, his Religious Emblem, and his Conservation Award. He’ll get them all at our first Pack meeting in October. At this rate he’ll be an Eagle by the time he’s 13 or 14, if he keeps up with it. I can barely keep up with him. I’m not pushing him, he’s pushing himself.
