For the purposes of uniformity there are some guidelines we need to follow with Den flags. Official BSA, Den flags are available at the scout shop. It is a good product, nicely printed, and ties are already sown on for attaching on the flagpole. The other option is to make your own den flag. Tiger, Wolf and Bear den flags need to be no bigger then 15"x22". They can be of any color and have any logo of your den's choosing. The only restrictions on flag designs for the cub dens is that if they show a prominent animal on the flag that it be the animal of that den, i.e. tiger, wolf or bear. The den number must be displayed in the top corner farthest from the flagpole. Iron-on Den flag numbers are available at the scout shop.
Den flags should be on display and part of the pack meeting's flag ceremonies. When the scouts are called to salute the flag the den and pack flags are dipped as seen on the left.
