Powerpoint I made to share with Wolf Scouts.

1. Your Flag

2. I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and
Justice for all.
“I pledge allegiance” (I promise to be true)
“to the flag” (to the symbol of our country)
“of the United States of America” (each state that has joined to make our country)
“and to the Republic” (a republic is a country where the people choose others to make laws for
them -- the government is “of, by and for” the people)
“for which it stands,” (the flag means the country)
“one nation” (a single country)
“under God,” (the people believe in a supreme being)
“indivisible,” (the country cannot be split into parts)
“with Liberty and Justice” (with freedom and fairness)
“for all.” (for each person in the country...you and me!)

3. Caring for the American Flag
Never let the flag touch the ground.
When a flag has gotten old and tattered, retire the flag
in a proper flag ceremony.
Take the flag down in bad weather or at night (unless it
is illuminated).

4. Displaying the American Flag
1. On a pole
2. Hanging vertically
3. Posted on the

5. Flag of California

6. •Raised at Sonoma on June 14, 1846, by a group of American settlers in revolt
against Mexican rule. The star imitated the lone star of Texas.
•A grizzly bear represented the many bears seen in the state. The word,
"California Republic" was placed beneath the star and bear.
•It was adopted by the 1911 State Legislature as the State Flag.
