 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Leader **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: “Will the Audience please rise?”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Leader **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: “Color Guard, Post the Colors!."
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Leader **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: “Please join us in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance …”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Leader **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: “TWO.”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Leader **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: “Color guard, retreat.”

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">NOTES: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The US flag and other flags (ie Pack flag or Den flag) start in the back of the room. The US flag should be on the right side of the procession and should never be behind the other flags. When they come to the point where the flags must cross, the US flag should cross in front of the other flags.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The US flag should be displayed on its own right, as shown in the diagram.
