When I was 10 or so where my cousin was part of the boy scout flag retirement It was pretty elaborate with speeches, explanations, demonstration on how to start a fire, a whole folding mini ceremony complete with symbolism about each fold signifance and then love music during the actual buring. Maybe 40-50 people in the audience?
I asked my navy uncle on the way home “I thought burning flags was a bad thing…?” and he promptly told me to shut the fuck up, they did it the only correct way and not ask stupid questions.
Never wanted to do anything scout related again. Weird lil 'MERICA indoctrination culty shit.
