Please also note:

-It is a Class A uniform event - Please look your best!
-We march rain or shine, so dress for the weather
-Bring/wear sunblock
-Bring a water bottle
-There is no candy throwing - this is a solemn occasion
-Family & siblings are invited to join
-Parents can wear Class B shirt, if they don't have Class A

Looking forward to a great turnout! This parade is smaller than it has been in past years and we have been chosen as one of the groups to participate in the parade. So let us DO OUR BEST and remember the Scout Oath and Scout Law as we march in this parade to honor the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. We are here to say thank you and pay tribute to the brave men and women that have served our country, especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice.

Hope to see you all there! If you will be marching with another group or watching from the sidelines, find us and give us a wave! We would love to see our family and friends in the crowd!
