One of the important skills for new members to learn is all about the National Flag. The colors, meaning and flag handling. This teaches them national values. Unlike conventional Flag Rising, scouts practice Flag Break. The flag must be folded properly so that it unfolds or breaks when a string is pulled.
Proper folding is practiced repeatedly so that every member will have a chance at being on "Flag Duty". In any occasion when a national flag is used, during small gatherings to large Jamborees, every scouts now knows and understands the flag skills. Special thanks to Skipper Leslie Lim for volunteering to teach flag skills.
