Anthem’s Annual Veteran’s Day parade!

Come out and help our charter organization make this annual event a huge sucess!

Saturday is the Daisy Mountain Veteran’s annual Veteran’s Day parade. As you know, the Daisy Mountain Veteran’s are our sponsor, and as such we participate in the parade with a truck and trailer. The boys LOVE this event and we all have so much fun celebrating our veterans. The boys should wear their Class A uniform’s and bring a water bottle with their name on it.

This year there is a parachute jump onto the baseball fields that are on Gavilan Peak Parkway at 9 AM. We will then walk to Cross of Christ church to hop onto our float. If you are planning on attending the parachute jump, please plan to arrive around 8:45 AM. There will be several leaders there to help guide the Scouts and families back to Cross of Christ. If you would prefer to skip the parachute jump, please plan to arrive at Cross of Christ church at 8:45 AM. At 9:00 AM the staging area will become very active bringing the trucks and trailers out onto Gavilan Peak Parkway, so we want all of our Scouts on the trailer by then if they are not watching the parachute jump. There will be several leaders at Cross of Christ. The parade starts promptly at 10:00 AM.

Parking: street parking or park at the ACC if you plan to go to the parachute jump. The Fry’s parking lot if you wish to join us at Cross of Christ. Gavilan Peak between Daisy Mountain and Anthem Way will be CLOSED starting around 8am. So plan accordingly.

The parade route is 1.2 miles and ends at the ACC. Arrow of Light Webelos are allowed to walk the route, and the rest of the boys must ride in the truck bed or trailer. You are welcome to grab a spot on the parade route and cheer for your Scout while they go by! You can pick up your Scout at the ACC or at Cross of Christ/CCV (back up if Gavilan Peak is still closed.) PLEASE LET YOUR DEN LEADER KNOW what your pick up plan is.

Please let your Den Leader or me know if you have any questions or concerns.
