Hey Scouts and Scouters,

4th of July is right around the corner and you know what that means:  Garbage Collection!  Oooops!  I mean…the 4th Of July Parade!  It’s time to start planning our involvement in the Kiwanis Danville 4th of July Parade. The sponsoring scouts for this event are our Order of the Arrow (OA) members and leading us this year is OSPL Eric C. This is a great service project in our community and a lot of fun.  If you are in town and would like to march in the parade, leading it off no less, and help out with trash collection, please check out the details below.

As in past years, there are 3 events that you can participate in:

Service Project #1:  6:45am – 9:00am:  Place garbage and recycling cans along the parade route. Scouts and adults are both welcome.

Breakfast option: Kiwanis provides a full spread breakfast at Pete’s Brass Rail from 6:00 – 6:40am for those who help with Service Project #1. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Potatoes, French Toast, just what your body needs to get you going for the day’s activities!

March in the Parade:  9:00am to  ~ 10:30am:  Lead the parade carrying the main parade banner and our American Flags. (Full and complete Class A uniforms required…scouts and leaders only).

Service Project #2: 10:30/11:00 – noon+:  Load up garbage cans onto trucks after parade is over. Scouts and adults both welcome.

Lunch option: Afterwards, Kiwanis provides a full spread lunch at Pete’s Brass Rail for those who help with Service Project #2.  Gorge yourself on a Make-Your-Own Sandwich Bar in preparation for that next activity, the all important 4th of July Afternoon NAP!

The permission slips are due no later than the PLC meeting on June 30th.

Thanks,

Scott Evans
