Flag Protocols for Retiring the Flag

Proper Retirement

• Community Ceremonies: Many organizations, such as the Boy Scouts of America or the American Legion, hold flag retirement ceremonies that involve the burning of the flag with appropriate honors, followed by the burial of its ashes.
• Retirement Ceremony: If the flag is worn, tattered, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired in a dignified manner, typically through a flag retirement ceremony. The preferred method of retirement is by burning, conducted with care and respect.
