In the Boy Scouts, I learned you were supposed to burn a US flag which you had allowed to touch the ground.

Yes, they taught me that in Boy Scouts too. But the burning was done as a ceremony - fold it into a triangle first, say the Pledge as it burns and then bury the ashes.

A damaged or worn out flag is supposed to be destroyed by burning; respectfully with ceremony.
