Flashlight for each Scout in ceremony

Before you begin, turn off all lights.
Scouts in ceremony should be seated around flag pole, sitting on the ground.

Each Scout should have a flashlight - if less than 9 scouts, then some have two flashlights and two lines. They will turn on their flashlight, pointing it at the flag immediately before they recite their part of the ceremony. They should keep their light on after they speak.
