Val, In Canada there is no set or established formal method for how the flag is to be folded in preparation for breaking. There is also no rule or etiquette...
We don't do flag breaks down our way; but I have a couple of old copies of "Tenderfoot to Queen's Scout", and they show you exactly how to do a flag break....

Our Cub group is doing the Purple Star this year, and are looking for a Cub group out East that would correspond with us via snail mail to cover off Purple...
I found the flag breaks, on your side of the border, to be a very nice way of doing things; but unfortunately, our flag etiquette doesn't allow for that down...
Thanks for the info, it does help. And Nope, I don't know how to do a flag break, as it's never used in our beavers or Cubs, and I'm semi-new to Scouts. i'm...
Well i figured it would stay with group tradition, and continue the flag break. I personally think it adds that perfect touch to opening. I just have to...

Thanks for all the suggestions and ideas. I have lots of reading ahead of me. I noticed that the scout troop only used one scout for flag break last year, so...
Also make sure you're doing a Scouters' Five in order to have a spiritual thought/reflection at the end, preferably one that relates to what was worked on that...
While Liam and Dennis run their troops with PL elections, COH, etc. I wonder what percentage of troops do this? I think Liam needs to go back for his Phd and...
... More than you might think. Far less than should do. I truly believe that the Scout Method runs my Troop, not me. You haven't lived until an 11 year old...
... I don't think we could do that since our troop is too small (around 10 at the moment). Of course that is another good point that Liam makes -- a Scout...
What is wrong with using the same PL and APL as last year? If they functioned well, you do not have to change them. Not every youth has the skills or interest...

With all due respect, I don't think that this decision is yours to make. That's up to each individual Patrol to decide who they want as Leader. You may be...

That is exactly how we do it in our troop of 9. We have 2 patrols, who each elect their PL. The PL then is given the opportunity to pick their APL. Afterall...
