Much to my surprise, the boys successfully signed up for
Flag Raising on Thursday morning. Even
more surprising is that not every slot was filled so Staff had to raise the
flag this morning. Holling recruited
Alex to be in the ceremony.
As discussed before flag etiquette is very important in
scouting. After the American Flag was
raised, the staff member making the call announces. “Raise the Flag of the Beautiful State of
Colorado and the Lone Star State of Texas”
We all hold our salute as the Flags of Colorado and Puerto
Rico get raised. I learn later Alex is
telling Holling “This is not the Texas Flag” and her response is “just raise
it”. I do not know much, but I believe
this is probably a breach of flag etiquette.
I reserve the right for more smug responses after Little
Troop 5 raises the flag. I do fear the
force of Karma.
