Rose Parade!

Last year we had a uniquie opportunity to march in the Rose Parade.  It was a Historic event and one that I will not soon forget.
This year our Jamboree contingent will once again march in the Parade.  A year ago, we were all just a bunch of Scouts and Scouters going to Jamboree.. this year we are Troop 720!  And we will be marching together as a Troop.
So here are the details.
We are going to meet at the far East side of the Llyod center by Sears at 8:00 AM.  Look for Scoutmaster Jerry, he will be there early.
From the Llyod center we will move to the Rose Garden and assemble with the rest of the contingent.
We will then march in the Parade, at the conclusion of the parade we will hop on MAX and return to the Llyod center.
Parents.. after you drop your Scout off.. if you are planning of staying for the parade, there is a group of 720 parents watching at around 3rd and Burnside, there was plenty of room there last year.. right at the bridge.
UNIFORM for the PARADE:
Full Scout Uniform (Shorts or pants)
Troop hat... THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.
NO JACKETS
NO BACKPACKS
fanny pack is ok with a water bottle in it.
SCOUT SOCKS
Good walking shoes

Please be on time we have to be at the Rose Garden at 9:30 AM staged and ready to walk.
Unless you have already made arrangements with Jerry, You are expected to be at the Parade.  This is a high profile event and will promote Scouting, Jamboree, and the Council in a good light for years to come.
The weather is supposed to be fantasic.. lets have fun and show our pride at the Rose Parade.


Have a Great Scouting Day!
