Memorial Day Parade Information – May 27

The Memorial Day parade is Monday, May 27^th rain or shine at 10 a.m.  Troops should arrive at the meeting house on the common and line up according to levels with Daisies first.  Girls can take turns holding their banner.  Remember Leaders to remove the pole from the banner so it’s not as heavy.  Wear comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, Girl Scout uniforms for the girls, Girl Scout pins for the Leaders, and bring a first aid kit with the girls annual permission form showing their emergency contact information in the event of an emergency on the parade route.  Girls should carry a water bottle or an adult could pull a wagon with water for the girls.  The parade will stop for a few minutes for the HS band to play and girls can take a little rest drink their water.  We remind Leaders to remind the girls to be respectful and that North Reading Girl Scouts do not hand out or carry balloons any longer in the parade and we absolutely do not throw candy into the crowds as it’s a safety issue.  Parents are allowed to walk with the girls in the parade and any girl can participate without a troop or her Leader.
