  23. Flag Ceremony Guidelines • Who will carry the flag? • Who will be the color guards? • Who will give the directions for the ceremony? • What song will be sung? Who will sound the pitch and start the song? • Will a poem or quotation be included? Who will say or read it?

  24. Flag Ceremony Guidelines • After the Pledge of Allegiance, will the Promise and the Law be said? • In what order will the parts of the ceremony take place? • When will the group practice? • Where will the flags be placed at the end of the ceremony?

  25. Terms • Color Bearer • Color Guard • Girl Scout In-Charge (Caller)

  26. Possible Commands • “Girl Scouts, attention.” • “Color Guard, advance.” • “Color Guard, post the colors.” • “Color guard, honor your flag.” • “Please join us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance” or “Color guard, honor your flag.” • “Color guard, retire the colors.” • “Color guard, dismissed.” • “Girl Scouts ,dismissed.”

  27. Handling the American Flag • The American Flag should be placed in the center, and higher, when displayed with a group of state, local, or organizational flags flown from staffs. It may also be positioned to the right of other flags (if you were to hold the flag while facing your audience, your right side would be the flag's own right).

  28. Handling the American Flag • "When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience." *

  29. Handling the American Flag • The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly with dignity

  30. Handling the American Flag • The flag should never be allowed to touch anything beneath it, nor should it ever be carried flat or horizontally—always aloft and free

  31. Handling the American Flag • Never use the flag as a cover or place anything on top of it.

  32. Handling the American Flag • No disrespect of any kind should be shown to the flag of the United States. It should be kept clean.

  33. Handling the American Flag • The flag, when carried in a procession with other flags, should be either on the marching right or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.

  34. Handling the American Flag • When you display the flag on a wall or in a window where people see it from the street, it should be displayed flat with the blue part at the top and on the flag's own right (which is the observer's left).

  35. Handling the American Flag • When displayed after dark, the flag should be illuminated.
