The Debian 8.x (jessie) releases for the BeagleBone run systemd-timesyncd, which is installed and on by default. As long as the Beaglebone is hooked to the internet, it has correct time to +/- 10 milliseconds or so. Probably good enough for a time-nut lawn sprinkler.
systemd-timesyncd is a simplified system that corrects the system clock in the computer using NTP, but only as a client. The Beaglebone does not participate as a peer. For Debian 7 (wheesie), I think you need to install and enable ntpd.
