Amazing Flag Ceremony

Chief Seattle Council

In a darkened room have a spotlight shining up on the flag from a very low position. The flag needs to be as large a flag as possible, and made of 100% nylon to create the right effect. It must be rolled onto the poll as tight as it can be done and then secured there by a ribbon tied around it or an unseen line of some kind like heavy fishing line. On a cue, the line/ribbon is cut/released and the flag will begin to "twirl" as it uncoils. A large flag will do this for an amazingly long time and the effect is quite striking.

This can be done in conjunction with music or narration of any kind.

May I …

Arrangement:  Pack flag is placed in center of stage.  Ten Cub Scouts in uniform, in turn, come on stage, stand near the pack flag and recite one of the statements below.  Upon finishing, each Cub Scout salutes the pack flag and steps back.
