This is covered in the "Smitty's Baseball Rules, Annotated. Check out section 7.12 between "The hands are part of the bat" and "home plate is foul." It clearly states that every runner must tag their base after every pitch AND when time is called.

If you can't find a copy of this in print, just ask any Little League parent or any umpire you see brushing off second base or wearing his ball bags on the bases. They'll be happy to explain it to you.
