produce it? Does the manufacturers have to abide by certain criteria? We are
having a very hard time finding this information out. I would like any help
you can give us. Thank you very much, Gloria - Troop Leader

Gloria,
While there is no specific license or permit required to manufacture American flags, there are specific rules regarding official U.S. flags. Many people make their own personal flags, but for a flag to be "official" it must conform specific proportions and dimensions. If you google "executive order 10834" you will find a document dated 8-21-1959, which places the 50th star on the field and lists a series of exact dimensions, placement of stars, stripes, etc. to create an official U.S. flag.
Good luck with your girls.
