As the school year ends, another Water Carnival Parade is only a few weeks away. Pack 246 will once again have a float in the Parade. We hope to have as good of a turn out as we did last year. The plan is to meet as a group on Thursday, June 18^th at 6:30 pm at the fair grounds and prepare the trailer for the parade. Please bring a few tools (screw drivers, staplers, etc…) to help with the set up. We are planning on having the same set up as last year (tent, fire, scouts), with two exceptions:

The Freezes will be frozen
We will use wagons to cart the boxes of freezes to hand to the scouts, instead of having the scouts running to the moving trailer get replenish there supply.

Below is a list of items that are needed for a successful parade entry:

We are in need of 3 wagons to help with distributing the freezes.
We need someone with a truck to drive the trailer through the parade route
We need parental volunteers to pull the wagons, and make sure the kids are safe

Let me know if there are any questions or if you would like to volunteer for an item listed above.

Best Regards,

Scott Gandrud

After Action reports

Water carnival parade went smoothly. Had enough freezes with 3000. Next year try having adults hand them out by walking with wagons. Have them froze and separated ahead of time. Concern about pulling the trailer with the truck... kids could get between truck and wagon and driver might not see immediately; perhaps pull with a tractor.

Day camp went well. Had 1/2 hour activities. Kids were excited to be there, and there were new things the 2nd day to keep them interested.

Family camp at Stearns went well, but lack of people. No archery or swimming. Carts were great. Decision on where to have fall camp out to be made at Aug 3 meeting.

Karen O needs list of who participated in camps, parade, floats, etc. for months of June, July, August so summer awards can be given to those who participated all three months. For a July activity scouts could attend the 80th anniversary of pack 246 sunday July 27th at 2pm at Christ the King. Come in uniform. Could also attend a scout twins game, or Fun in the sun which runs until the end of July.
