National flag always goes on top of any other flag (with the exception of certain Royal flags). In Canada it is unacceptable to fly the Maple Leaf on the same halyard with another flag.
Australia
When displayed on a flag rope (a ‘halyard’), the flag should be as close as possible to the top, with the flag rope tight. If the national flag is vertically suspended in an east-west street, the canton should be towards the north. In a north-south street the canton should be towards the east

After the flag of the host country, the other flags should be displayed in alphabetical order using the common name of the countries, excluding words like "the" and "commonwealth" or "republic of". A number of other scenarios are detailed here. The position of honor (for the host country flag) is to the left as observed. Alternatively the position of honor is the center. The position of honor flag is raised first and lowered last, unless all flags are raised and lowered together.
At Commonwealth events or where only Commonwealth country flags are raised, after the host country flag, the flags of each member of the Commonwealth of Nations are displayed in the order the country first joined the Commonwealth with the Union Jack first, than Canada (first to be independent) and so on. All country flags should be flown at the same height and should be the same size vertically (some are shorter or longer horizontally).

Here you practice some of what you learn in this honor.

- Note: Pathfinders should wear full Class A uniform when participating in a flag retirement ceremony.

Canada
If you are considering if your flag has reached the point it needs to be replaced, it is time to replace it. Flying a flag with rips, tears, or stains is disrespectful. There is no official protocol for disposing of an old Canadian flag but respectfully burning it privately is suggested. A camp fire, brush fire or a wood stove are all acceptable. Burning the flag with garbage would be unacceptable as the flag should not be combined with garbage.
Modern flags are often made from more durable nylon so they last longer. According to DuPont’s ‘Material Safety Data Sheet’ burning nylon produces: “Hazardous gases / vapors produced in fire are formaldehydes, ammonia, carbon monoxide, cyclopentanone, oxides of nitrogen, traces of hydrogen cyanide, incompletely burned hydrocarbons.” Some suggest cutting up the flag (now it is not a flag) and recycling it - perhaps into new flags.
United States
There is no official protocol for retiring a US Flag other than that it be done by burning and that it be done respectfully. Here is an outline for a ceremony that you might consider using.
- Kindle a fire near the center of the area where the flag will be retired. Assign someone to tend the fire, seeing that it does not get out of control and that it is sufficiently robust to consume the flag completely.
- Six Pathfinders march forward, with one carrying the flag.
- The flag is unfolded and held horizontally while Taps is played.
- While five of the Pathfinders hold the flag, the sixth one removes the union (blue field) with a pair of sharp scissors.
- The union is placed on the fire.
- The top-most red stripe is then cut from the flag (and the remainder of the flag is still held horizontal to the ground).
- The red strip is placed on the fire.
- Each stripe is then removed, one at a time and placed on the fire.
- When the fire has consumed all the parts of the flag, it should be put out completely.
- When it is cool enough to do so, any grommets that were part of the flag should be collected and buried.
Australia
When a flag becomes dilapidated and no longer suitable for use, it should be destroyed privately and in a dignified way. For example, it may be cut into small unrecognisable pieces then disposed of with the normal rubbish collection. In some circumstances it may be fitting to hold a ceremony to mark the retirement of a used Australian National Flag. The order of ceremony below is provided as a guide to how such an event could be run. Introduction/Welcome by Master of Ceremonies Acknowledgement of Country Comments regarding the history and symbolism of the Australian National Flag (flag to be retired brought to be displayed to those in attendance) Comments regarding retired flag’s history (where flown, how long, memorable events in that time) Speech about retirement of flag (Short Silence while flag is retired) The flag can be ceremonially cut into three pieces with solemnity. Two cuts should be done in such a way to ensure that the three symbolic elements of the flag are left intact: The Union Jack, The Federation Star and the Southern Cross. The parts of the flag can be placed in a suitable receptacle and either escorted from the scene or left until those attending the ceremony depart. After the ceremony the flag may either be placed in a permanent place of storage or should be destroyed privately and in a dignified way such as cutting it into small unrecognisable pieces, placing it in an appropriate sealed bag or closed container and then putting it in the normal rubbish collection. Australian National Anthem is played. Information on Anthem protocol and downloadable music files are available on the PM&C website Closing Remarks
