It's not too early to start working on your troop banner
if you don't already have one! Check out the flyer here
for more information about the parade and the banner dimensions. This
year's parade is Monday, May 25. The parade starts promptly at 10 a.m. from the
Meeting House on the Common. If your troop is marching, you
should plan on lining up at 9:45. Individual girls are also welcome to
march and join in with other troops sharing their level of scouting!
We ask that no troop carry
and/or hand out latex balloons. Not
only are they dangerous for young children, but in conjunction with a Silver
Award done by a Cadette Girl Scout a number of years ago, they are dangerous to
wildlife. Her slogan was “When Balloons Fly, Animals Die”. Again, we also ask
that for safety reasons, the NRGS troops DO NOT
throw candy into the crowd. The parade committee also requests
this of each group and organization participating in the parade for safety
reasons and although others do not honor their request, we would ask that the
Girl Scouts adhere to their policy as part of our Girl Scout Law to respect
authority.
