Class A Uniforms Required with neckerchief and nice pants or shorts; closed toe sandals (e.g.Keens) or sturdy walking shoes - no flip flops
- Sunscreen and/or hats
- All Leaders walking must be in uniform
- All Scouts walking must be in uniform
Getting Your Scout There:
The Legion St entry located behind Wildcat Lanes will be the best route to our line-up location on S. Nine Mound Rd. Plan to arrive between 10:30 -11:30am, as there will be closed roads and plenty of traffic to maneuver. To avoid congestion, the parade staff has asked that children of youth organizations be dropped off at Wildcat Lanes. Parents can walk their children over or wait for volunteers who will also be on hand to assist youth groups over to the staging area.
Look for entry 16 and scout uniforms near the Legion St crossing on S. Nine Mound Rd. This is our line-up number/location. DO NOT ENTER BY THE PAOLI STREET AT S. MOUND ROAD - this will be closed prior to the parade and is the main staging area.
Picking Up Your Scout Up:
Discuss plans for meeting your Scout after they finish marching and/or at the end of the parade. (The parade route ends near Wildcat Lanes.) They will be looking for your at the end of the route. Provide them with a cell phone and/or number to reach you as a precaution. All scouts must meet/pick-up promptly after they complete marching (which will likely be before the parade actually ends).
Other Important Details:
Class A Uniforms are required for all Scouts and Leaders marching. Consider the weather-undershirts for chill, rain gear, etc. Skateboards, scooters, Healy's, etc. are NOT appropriate.
Restroom visits (limited availability) and snacks (it will be lunch time) should be planned around the parade schedule. Bring your water bottles. Water will be provided.
