4th of July parade – July 4th!

Pack 722 is again walking in the 4th of July parade. If you haven't been to the parade before, it is amazingly fun. Being in a parade is a requirement for some scout ranks and will count as a July activity toward your Summer Pack award. 


Basic info below, but more details are here and in future emails


Dress Code:

  • Class A uniforms. Generally, it's hot so dress for the weather.

What to bring:

  • Sunscreen

  • Water

  • Maybe a snack

  • Wear your scout hat if you have one

  • Good walking shoes

When:

  • You should plan to come around 3:00 PM to catch the shuttle to the top of the lake. Sometimes these can take a little while to show up. Alternatively, you can walk up North Ave. You may want to come earlier to make sure you can park at MG Fitness or the Galvin.
