Clan Flag Protocol

[HeathBar]

I would think that a clan society banner comes under the catagory of an organization/institutional flag.

If a clan society could agree on an official banner to represent the clan and everyone would agree to use it, then I could see the above statement being valid.

I guess it would be up to the person holding the flag as to whether or not they dip it. When I started convening a clan tent, I was not given instructions about how to display flags or when to dip them and when not to. I do not fly any national flags at my tent. There is protocal for how to fly them and sometimes its just not practical to do so at a clan tent. I see too many flown improperly, I wouldn't want mine added to the bunch.

That's a very good point. Some clan societies do have a "standardized" banner, such as the black Lion Rampant of the Buchanans, but others do not.

I tend to follow the logic that "less is more" as well when it comes to flags displayed at my clan tent. Of course, I think the question here refers more to a parade of clans type ceremony, where a colour party with the national colours are present.
