Instructions
Give each Patrol a copy of the basic colour ceremony details overleaf and the information on how to fold/unfold a flag.

Ask each Patrol to look through the information on folding/unfolding a flag and get them to practice doing this with the flag first.

Arrange for each Patrol to practice hoisting the flag onto the flag pole.

Decide who in each Patrol will form the colour party and practice without the flag first – follow the instructions in the Basic Colour Ceremony details on next page.

Debrief
Discuss the importance of the ceremony i.e. it should be done slowly, following the instructions carefully.
