2010 Summer Parades in Rochester

Dear Scout Leaders,

As part of the 100 year celebration of Scouting- this summer the 100 year Scouting committee is encouraging all youth and adult Scouts to march in one of 2 parades to help promote Scouting in the Rochester area.

Rochesterfest Parade: Friday, June 25 @ 5 p.m.

Contact Person: KC Reed at 507.259.7003 or mailto:kcreed74@charter.net

Any Troop or Pack that is planning to walk in the parade, please contact KC Reed. We would like to have the Scouts there by 5 PM and they should be done by 7 PM. All units can bring their Troop, Pack and American flags to the parade and carry them in a group. Meeting point will be near the floats that are staged north of the railroad tracks on West Silver Lake Dr, next to the power plant. The Rochester-fest parade committee will have all the Scouts walking in the parade near the front parade because of Pack 121 carrying the large Perkins American flag.

Scouts Needed: The committee is also seeking to have six pairs of boys (preferably Boy Scouts) to carry banners for various floats through-out the Rochester-fest parade, please contact KC Reed if you are interested in doing that service for the Rochesterfest parade.
