A basic flag ceremony involves a flag bearer (one for each flag), color guard (any number but they usually have either four or six), and a caller. The caller usually has a script to follow and she calls or announces each part of the ceremony. Here is a basic script. Things may be added, such as having the Girl Scouts recite the Girl Scout Promise. At the beginning of an event or meeting: "Girl Scouts, attention." "Color guard, advance." "Color guard, post the colors." "Color guard, honor the flag." "Please join us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance." At the end of an event or meeting: "Color guard, honor the flag." "Color guard, retire the colors." "Color guard dismissed." See Related Links for more specific details on Girl Scout flag ceremonies.
