Scouts, Leaders, Parents, Family and their Friends for the past nine/ten years have volunteered and provided marshalling, balloon and banner carrying and the passing out of programs before and during the City of Gaithersburg’s Labor Day parade to ensure it is enjoyed by all.
This year the Department of Parks and Recreation staff is requesting our Troop to provide the following volunteers.
10 Marshals - Senior/experience scouts, Leaders/Adults - Monitor the parade to maintain events/participants progress in an orderly and timely manner.**** Same format as last year will be utilized.****
8 Banner Carriers - Four groups of two to carry banners during the parade.
Passing out programs – Five or so volunteers to hand out programs prior to the parade start.
Leaders or Adults to assist with food, drinks, and meeting scouts at the end of the parade.
This is a fun event. School service hours are available. The majority of participants will be able to watch and enjoy the parade once their assignment is complete.
Uniform: Class A uniform
Equipment: Water and proper clothing such as hats, sun screen depending on weather conditions of the day.
