FLAG BREAK, the Duty Sixer should break the Flag at the start of the meeting.

Akela: “Pack, alert”
“Duty Sixer to the Flag”
The Duty Sixer marches smartly
To the Flag pole, reaches up with
His right hand to grasp the halyard
His left hand at his side.

Duty Sixer: “Halyard's all clear, Akela”.

Akela: “Break the Flag”.
And as soon as the Flag is broken
“Pack, Salute” the Pack salutes.

The Duty Sixer secures the halyard, takes two paces backward, looks up at
the Flag, salutes does an about-turn and returns to their place.

FLAG DOWN, the Duty Sixer and another Cub Scout from his Six should lower the
Flag at the end of the meeting and in the evening at camp.

Akela: “Pack, alert”
“Duty Sixer to the Flag”
Both march to the Flag pole. Duty Sixer unties the halyard.

Duty Sixer: “Halyard's all Clear, Akela”.
Akela: “Lower the Flag”

With the other Cub behind him, the Duty Sixer lowers the Flag slowly, the
Cub reaches forward to catch the Flag and put it on the sixer's right shoulder. They

places.
