Awesome ceremony! My sons Boy Scout Troop just retired a flag. It is important they learn to love and respect Old Glory, the way we did before people learned how to disrupt everything patriotic this country was built on! Now, we have leaders, that have NO regard for the constitution, or the history of this country! The reason our forefathers went to war was for freedom! To make this country the best in the world! NOT twist the constitution to advance their agenda! God Bless America!

OA is a good thing you know.

fucking anti american commies burning the flag, send them to prison

[recca179]

Scouts is for civillian pussies. Cadets is for real men, or jrotc if your american

[TheGrayman1234]

I do not care for the version of the retirement ceremony where the flag is cut up. Good job though boys.

[Maceofblades]

Wow this really takes me back . He done a good job on it. So what rank is he so far?

[imMichaelJones]

It is highly encouraged that all scouts performing a flag ceremony should wear the correct scout uniform, and that all of the scouts performing the flag ceremony should all be wearing the same uniform colors. Various scouts in the video are seen to be wearing jeans, while the correct uniform for the Boy Scouts of America are the official green zip-off pants. Although not required, all the scouts should be wearing Boy Scout hats as well.

When I was a Scout, long long ago, we did a retirement ceremony to retire the flag that flew out town hall. It sparked so much controversy from idiots like Furnus105 in the comments below. It was ridiculous how people responded and it still burns me up to this day when I see morons react to TRUE and PROPER flag retirement.

Good job guys. Your ceremony was very respectful and brought a tear to this old scouts eye. Keep up the good work, and of course, Be Prepared!

[USNERDOC]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have attended several of these ceremonies and they are always impressive.

[USNERDOC]

When Old Glory becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new flag, and the old flag is "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting our nation's flag. The traditional method of retirement is to incinerate the flag. An alternative method is to cut into pieces followed by incineration.

Bunch of retarded idiots unable to do anything right, so they all gathered up in the boy scouts, hoping there would be other retarded idiots there to play with, and apparently being taught how to cut and burn their nation's flag... Great video indeed -.-

@Furnus105 Your a sad excuse for a man.

[SageSofa]

Excellent video. You're bringing up a good young man.

[DeadBabyJesus]

I myself am an Eagle Scout, and I have never seen or heard of this ceremony. I'm sure there are stated reasons for such a ceremony, but it seems kind of odd to me.

[ArtisanTony]

@DeadBabyJesus An Eagle scout would be familiar with a flag retirement ceremony and with your channel name I suspect you may not be an Eagle Scout. Just a hunch :)

[benchmademanac]

GO BSA, im a boy scout myself, very nice

[CENTCOMSurvivor]

Awesome video. Its nice to see honor and patriotism. The flag deserves it!

[watuwaitn4]

Been a Girl Scout Leader for 10 years and a Boy Scout Mom for 6 years and everytime I see a Flag being retired, it touches my soul. Very nice!

[ninjaturtle559]

kinda creepy 

[xwingrox]

why is boy scouts christian/catholic? I was in boy scouts (Life) and I loved it. I just never understood why the pledges and stuff were all christian in nature 

[Tarakian1999]

@xwingrox The Boy Scouts are a multicultural multireligous and multiracial organization. There are Muslim Scouts, Hindu Scouts, and Jewish Scout to name a few. As I remember my Scout Oath, On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty, to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law to help other people at all times to keep myself physically fit mentally awake and morally straight The mention of God in the Oath does not name the God to whom the duty is owed.

[aizatjais]

why did you do this.

[83VF750F]

Vary good video. I have a US flag that I put up when the twin towers got knocked down and vowed not to bring it down untill thay got bin laden but the weather got to her and I had to take it down :( but when he is dead I will put my flag to rest.
