Directions

During the meeting:

Have the Cub Scouts buddy up.
Taking turns, each pair of Cub Scouts hold the flag at waist level between themselves.
Ask the Cub Scouts to fold the flag in half lengthwise, then fold it in half lengthwise again, always keeping the blue field on the outside.
While one Cub Scout holds the flag by the blue field, the other should make triangular folds from the opposite end until only the blue field is available.
Ask the Cub Scouts to continue folding in a triangular pattern until they reach the end of the flag.
Have the Cub Scouts tuck any excess fabric into the final fold to ensure a neat triangle.
The final folded flag should resemble a neatly folded triangle with only the blue field showing.
