Memorial Day Parade Troops interested in creating, carrying
and presenting wreaths along the parade route contact:
rodoherty@comcast.net This parade is a solemn occasion, honoring all the men and women who died while serving our country. Girl Scout uniform is required, at a minimum: vest, sash, or smock; no jeans. Please discuss with your girls and try to look like a troop. For example, all wear white shirt and dark pants/shorts. Bring a water bottle and light hydrating snack to munch on while the parade route stops at the various cemeteries. Have an adult pull a wagon on the side to carry troop supplies, including first aide kit and girl emergency information. Have the appropriate girl: adult ratio. Do not throw candy to the crowd. Carry the American flag, which is always to the right and one step ahead of any other flag. Have a meeting place predetermined so that the parents can retrieve their girls from you at the end of the parade route. The town common is quite large, so select a very specific location. Dress for the weather. The parade is rarely cancelled so plan for rain or heat, hopefully no snow. |
