This pamphlet is an attempt to give a good
reference for presenting a flag ceremony. By no
means is it the authority on flag ceremonies but by
it's creation we hope to help answering most
questions any Scout organization may have in
putting on a good flag ceremony. All Internet
references are noted at the bottom of the
paragraph they were copied from. We allow this
document to be freely copied and distributed as
reference in the spirit it was given to us. All of the
members of the Antelope Patrol; Jim Cristallo,
Doug Ellanson, Tom Erinis, Jim Giljohann, and
Steve Skeels.
