7 Guidelines for Conducting Flag Ceremonies, Days One through Six Preparations At the Day One Gilwell Field assembly, a staff color guard conducts the flag-raising ceremony, setting the tone and providing an appropriate model for subsequent flag ceremonies. During the remainder of the Wood Badge course, the program patrol takes responsibility for the flag ceremony. That patrol will have had program responsibilities since the previous day s Gilwell Field assembly; that should give them time to plan and practice the ceremony, and to obtain the appropriate historic flag from the quartermaster. Lyrics of the songs associated with historic flags can be photocopied and distributed before the flag-raising ceremony. Procedure After the Senior Patrol Leader reports to the Scoutmaster, The troop is formed, the Scoutmaster replies, Proceed with the flag ceremony. The Senior Patrol Leader directs, Program Patrol, raise the colors. The Patrol Leader of the program patrol takes charge, calling the members of the troop to attention. The color guard approaches the flagpoles and attaches the flags for raising. The patrol leader asks the troop members to make the Scout salute, then instructs the color guard to Raise the colors. The U.S. flag should be hoisted rapidly. As soon as it is at the top of the flagpole, the patrol leader commands Two. State flags and flags of the Boy Scouts of America are also raised quickly. The patrol then makes its presentation of the historic flag. Upon completion of the presentation, the historic flag and the Gilwell troop flag are raised rapidly to the tops of their flagpoles. (The Star-Spangled Banner and the Flag of 1818 are saluted, as they are still recognized as official flags of the United States of America.) The program patrol leads the group in singing a song associated with the historic flag, then returns to its position in the troop assembly. Creating A Legacy 7

13 Historic Flag Presentation Day 1 The Continental Flag A nation s flag is a stirring sight as it flies in the wind, representing a country s land, its people, its government, and its ideals. The Egyptians flew the first flaglike symbols thousands of years ago, and people have been flying them ever since. While many flags have flown over what is now the United States of America, the first flag to represent all the colonies was the Continental Colors, also called the Cambridge Flag or the Grand Union Flag. This flag, on which the British flag appeared at the upper left, was the unofficial American flag in 1775 and On New Year s Day 1776, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, George Washington chose it to be flown to celebrate the formation of the Continental Army. Later that year, it became the first American flag to be saluted by another country-the Netherlands. Let us honor this flag with a song that also honors America: America the Beautiful O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown Thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Creating A Legacy 13

19 Zulu Toss Game Materials One tennis ball, orange, or other toss able item (ball) per patrol member Procedure Each patrol forms a circle. The Patrol Leader (participant A) tosses (sends) one ball to participant B, who receives it and then tosses (sends) it to participant C, etc., until the ball has been touched once by every individual. The last to touch it sends it back to the Patrol Leader. Toss the ball around the circle several more times until everyone is accustomed to receiving it from and sending to the same individuals ever time. The Patrol Leader tosses the ball to participant B again to start on another trip around the circle. When that ball is midway through th participants, the Troop Guide hands the Patrol Leader a second ball, which he or she then tosses to participant B, participant B to participant C, and so on. There are now two balls being sent and received around the circle. As long as everyone receives from the same person and sends t the same participant each time, the balls will continue to move smoothly through the system. The Troop Guide gradually hands the Patrol Leader more balls, timing their introduction into the circle to keep the balls moving, until all the balls are in play. Creating A Legacy 19
20 Patrol Projects The patrol project encourages Wood Badge course participants to focus their efforts on the production of a tangible product and to experience the satisfaction that results from participating as a member of a high-performing team. During the morning s orientation session, everyone saw the project developed and presented by members of the Wood Badge staff. Each patrol is now assigned the challenge of creating a patrol project of its own. The projects will be presented to the entire troop on the afternoon of Day Five. The project must illustrate a program element or theme of Scouting that is clearly part of all four programs Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Varsity Scouting, and Venturing and must consist of both a selfexplanatory display and an oral presentation. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) advancement, adventure, athletics, citizenship, codes of ethics, conservation, diversity, family involvement, leadership training, learning, outdoor activities, public service, recognition, safety, and uniforms. Elements of the project could be a game, role-play, demonstration, or narrative. There are no restrictions on creativity or method of presentation. However, the project must be constructed in such a way that patrol members can transport it to their backcountry campsite. Patrol members must reach a consensus regarding the topic of their project by the morning of Day Two. The patrol scribe will write a brief description of the topic to be presented by the Patrol Leader to the Senior Patrol Leader for approval. Approval must be gained no later than Day Two Patrol Leaders Council meeting. Each patrol will have a set amount of time to present its project to the rest of the troop usually 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the number of patrols in the course. Patrol members must keep that time limit in mind as they prepare and rehearse their presentations. The quality of each project should meet or exceed the standard set by the staff exhibit observed on the morning of Day One. The quartermaster will make available a variety of materials for patrols to use in constructing their projects. In keeping with the Leave No Trace standards of Wood Badge, patrols may not use native materials found at the course sites. At Patrol Leaders Council meetings from Day Two through Day Five, Patrol Leaders will offer status reports on the progress of their patrol projects. On the afternoon of Day Five, the patrol projects must be presented in a manner in which all patrol members have substantial participation. At the Patrol Leaders Council meeting on the morning of Day Five, the Scoutmaster will assist the Patrol Leaders in discussing and reaching a consensus regarding a plan for the presentation of the projects. All Wood Badge participants are expected to contribute to the success of their patrols during the development and presentation of projects. The final product should clearly reflect the combined efforts of man individual talents. After presenting their projects, patrol members will complete a self-assessment to explore the process by which they developed their project and to reinforce their understanding of team development. Whenever possible, the patrol projects will not be discarded after the Wood Badge course, but should be used as permanent exhibits to promote the Scouting program within the participants units, districts, and councils.

25 Daily Patrol Self-Assessment (Start, Stop, Continue) The Start, Stop, Continue process is meant to provide patrol members with hands-on experience in making assessments. Self assessment-regularly measuring the morale and productivity of one s own group-is key to effective team development. The process also may give you fresh insights into ways the patrol can more effectively develop into a high-performing team. The Daily Patrol Self-Assessment takes place each morning during or just after breakfast. Members may use the following discussion points to assess their patrol s activities of the previous 24 hours. The evaluation is discussed only within the patrol. It is not shared with the Patrol Leaders Council or the rest of the troop. A copy of each day s assessment forms should be kept in the patrol leader s notebook for future reference. Date Patrol Name Start (What should we start doing that will make things better?) Stop (What should we stop doing because it is not helping?) Continue (What is our strength, and what is working well that we want to continue doing?) Creating A Legacy 25

27 Historic Flag Presentation Day 2 The Serapis Flag Designed with 13 stripes alternating red, white and blue, this flag was raised b Captain John Paul Jones on the British frigate Serapis during the most famous Revolutionary War naval battle. In 1779, after conducting sea raids on the coast of Britain, Jones took command of a rebuilt French merchant ship that had been renamed the U.S.S. Bonhomme Richard (in French, literally Good man Richard ) in horror of Benjamin Franklin and his famous Poor Richard s Almanac. In September of that year, Jones engaged the British frigate Serapis in the North Sea, sailing in close, lashing his vessel to the British ship, and fighting the battle at point-blank range. During the fight, two cannon burst on the Bonhomme Richard. The British captain asked Jones if he was ready to surrender, Jones replied, Sir, I have not yet begun to fight! Eventually it was the crew of the Serapis that surrendered, though the Bonhomme Richard was severely damaged. The American sailors boarded the Serapis and watched from the deck as the Bonhomme Richard sank beneath the waves. Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean O Columbia, the gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot s devotion, A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble, When Liberty s form stands in view; Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white, and blue! When borne by the red, white, and blue! When borne by the red, white, and blue! Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white, and blue! Creating A Legacy 27

29 Patrol leader Assignments for the Day Three Troop Meeting How to Pack for the Outdoor Experience Pre-opening Activity Day Three Troop Meeting The Wood Badge Outdoor Experience is an opportunity for each patrol to travel together to a relatively remote location, establish a camp, and take part in several days of outdoor activities. Patrol members will pack and carry their own gear and clothing, appropriate for the backcountry. The members of each Wood Badge patrol represent a wide range of skills and backgrounds. The goal of the Day Three troop meeting pre-opening activity is for patrol members to share their knowledge with one another to ensure that each person has access to the necessary gear and clothing and that everyone will be able to pack his or her equipment for traveling to the patrol s campsite. Besides drawing upon their own experiences, patrol members may also refer to The Boy Scout Handbook, Fieldbook, Camping, Hiking, and Backpacking merit badge pamphlets, and publications for Varsity Scouting and Venturing that highlight camping and backpacking. Planning for the Outdoor Experience Patrol meeting Day Three Troop Meeting Patrol Leaders can use the patrol meeting portion of the Day Three troop meeting to begin planning the details of the upcoming Outdoor Experience. Among the topics to consider are the following: Food Budget for meals Menus Ingredient List Shopping Food repackaging, transport, and storage Group Gear For Camping For cooking First Aid kit Although not a backpacking item, bringing a comfortable portable chair is recommended.

39 Historic Flag Presentation Day 3 The Star-Spangled Banner By 1795, Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union, bringing the number of states to 15. The new flag, featuring 15 stars and 15 stripes, flew over the nation for the next 23 years and the administrations of five presidents. It was this flag that flew over Fort McHenry the memorable night of its bombardment by the British in 1814, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write the verses of our national anthem. The actual flag that flew over Fort McHenry that night is now preserved in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. The Star-Spangled Banner O Say, can you see, by the dawn s early light, What so proudly we hail d at the twilight s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro the perilous fight, O er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro the night that our flag was still there! O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Creating A Legacy 39

47 Historic Flag Presentation Day 4 The 46-Star Flag By 1908, the United States of America had grown to encompass states from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Nearly all the territory in between had also been recognized with statehood. When Oklahoma joined the Union, the U.S. flag changed to include 46 stars, a design that would last for only four years and the administrations of two presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft. For us, there is further significance. This is the flag that was flying over America in 1910 when the Boy Scouts of America had its beginnings. Let us honor this flag with a song that also honors our nation; let us honor our nation with a song that also honors the land. God Bless America God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her, Through the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam God bless America! My home, sweet home.

53 Historic Flag Presentation Day 5 (Members of the program patrol may present the British Union Flag or another historic flag of their choosing.) British Union Flag The British Union Flag, sometimes called the Union Jack, was carried by the Jamestown settlers in 1607 and by the pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower in Today, it is the official flag of the United Kingdom. Its design can be found in the Hawaii flag and several flags of other nations, including New Zealand and Australia. Of special note is the fact that the British Union Flag was flown upside down-usually a sign of distressmany times when forces were under siege during the Boer War. Scouts will remember one hero of the Boer War: Robert S.S. Baden-Powell, the founder of the worldwide Scouting movement. Let us honor America and our land, waters, and sky with the song America. America My country! Tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims pride, From ev ry mountainside Let freedom ring. Our father s God to Thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright, With freedom s holy light; Protect us by thy might, Great God our King. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills Live that above. Creating A Legacy 53

61 Daily Patrol Self-Assessment (Start, Stop, Continue) The Start, Stop, Continue process is meant to provide patrol members with hands-on experience in making assessments. Self assessment-regularly measuring the morale and productivity of one s own group-is key to effective team development. The process also may give you fresh insights into ways the patrol can more effectively develop into a high-performing team. The Daily Patrol Self-Assessment takes place each morning during or just after breakfast. Members may use the following discussion points to assess their patrol s activities of the previous 24 hours. The evaluation is discussed only within the patrol. It is not shared with the Patrol Leaders Council or the rest of the troop. A copy of each day s assessment forms should be kept in the patrol leader s notebook for future reference. Date Patrol Name Start (What should we start doing that will make things better?) Stop (What should we stop doing because it is not helping?) Continue (What is our strength, and what is working well that we want to continue doing?) Creating A Legacy 61

63 Historic Flag Presentation Day 6 California State Flag On June 14, 1846, a small band of settlers marched on the Mexican garrison at Sonoma and took the commandant, Mariano Vallejo, prisoner. They issued a proclamation, which declared California to be a Republic independent of Mexico. This uprising became known as the Bear Flag Revolt after the hastily designed flag depicting a grizzly bear and a five-pointed star over a red bar and the words, California Republic. The grizzly bear was a symbol of great strength while the lone star made reference to the lone Star of Texas. The flag only flew until July 9, 1846 when it was learned that Mexico and the United Stares were already at war. Soon a small flotilla of United States Navy ships, commanded by Commodore Sloat, landed in the Mexican capital of Monterey, effectively capturing the Mexican state s government. The discovery of gold in Coloma brought a flood of new immigrants from the United States, overwhelming the remnants of Mexican authority. California was annexed as a territory of the United States and brought into the Union as a free state a few years before the Civil War. But the legacy of the rebellion lived on in the flag as it was commonly used as the symbol of the new State. It was officially adopted as the State Flag by the State Legislature 65 years later in Please join us now in singing The official California State Song I Love You, California I love you, California, you re the greatest state of all. I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall. I love your fertile Valleys; your dear mountains I adore. I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore. Chorus Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras Keep their watch o er the valleys bloom, It is there I would be in our rich land by the sea, Every breeze bearing rich perfume. It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me, And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh For my sunny California. Creating A Legacy 63
64 Historic Flag Presentation Day 6 California State Song remaining verses (for reference) II. I love your red-wood forests love your fields of yellow grain. I love your summer breezes and I love your winter rain. I love you, land of flowers; land of honey, fruit and wine. I love you, California; you have won this heart of mine. III. I love your old grey missions love your vineyards stretching far. I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar. I love your purple sun sets, love skies of azure blue. I love you, California; I just can t help loving you. IV. I love you, Catalina, you are very dear to me. I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite. I love you, Land of Sunshine, half your beauties are untold. I loved you in my childhood, and I ll love you when I m old. Words by F..B. Silverwood, music by A. F. Frankenstein Creating A Legacy 64
