Come early and stay late to check out the crafts and retailers who will be on hand.  Be sure to stick around for the tree lighting ceremony.  Santa Claus is also scheduled to make an appearance!

Each scout MUST have an adult accompany them during the parade.  Scout leaders have commitments after the parade and cannot wait for you to pick up your son once we are done marching in the parade.

The parade starts at Park Street Middle School, heading north on Wilbur Avenue to Columbus Street, then west on Columbus to Broadway.  Then it will head south on Broadway to Park Street, ending back at the school.

Please meet no later than 6:30 pm at the Park Street Middle School sign out in the front of the school on Park Street.  Once the pack is gathered we will be assigned our spot in the parade.

We would also like to ask for donations of mini candy canes or other Christmas candy.

P.S. Please include your scout's name when you RSVP.
