Yesterday

they really emphasized the flag code and at overnight camp (mine was 2 weeks), the girls rotated in groups for who did the color guard/flag duty, the mess hall, campsite/latrine cleaning, etc.

There was a whole ritual every evening, when the flag at our camp was lowered (with "Taps" sung, but just the first verse) and the assigned group did the "triangle folding" of it to put it away for the evening.

IIRC, if the flag hits the ground, it is supposed to be disposed of (burned). The flag can fly 24/7 on a pole as long as it is lit at night. If there is no light on it at night, it is supposed to be lowered.
