Walking the Parade

VETERANS' DAY
Every year, the girls walk with their Girl Scout troop in the Veterans Day parade down Fry Blvd. (it's like Main Street here). It's such great fun for so many reasons. And because we live in a "military town" the feeling of patriotism is very strong.




Miss Sierra Vista was lining up near us and got out of her car to come say hi. She talked to us all about becoming Sierra Vista. One of the things was finding an issue of "need" around the community and making a plan to make a change. Funny thing! That's exactly our Girl Scout theme this year! I'll post more about our fun special guest we had come to the troop meeting to present them with the theme.




Unlike last year where I was a coleader, I'm now the main Troop Girl Scout Leader. The girls and I have such a great time. And what better place can the girls get our craft on than at Girl Scouts. It's a good thing we do other things too otherwise we'd just be called Craft Scouts or something.


This is our view of what the street looked like during the parade. There were other Girl Scout troops walking in front and back of us. You can see how many people in our little town come out for the parades.
