Cavalcade 2010 patch 

There's something for every age in the wide world of Scouting right here at home. 

 

Boy Scout troops will demonstrate their skills and let YOU try, too.  Cub Scout packs will show off their creativity & enthusiasm in a variety of games with a purpose, so bring the whole family to enjoy the fun.  Sea Scouts, Venturers & Explorers can stage action areas to feature what they do in their units.  

 Webelos -- this is a great time to take a look at local Boy Scout troops before you cross the bridge later this year!

 

WHEN:  Saturday, Sept. 25, 9 a.m. arrival to setup (10:00 a.m.) to 4:00 p.m. 

Cav's on SATURDAY this year to fit better with other important priorities.  Activities are open-house format to fit with your family's weekend.  Unit leaders, please plan to set up early so action can begin by 10am.

 

WHERE:   Roswell First Baptist Church on 710 Mimosa Blvd., just a block off Roswell's historic square -- the same church where our district holds Roundtable each month.

 

BRING WATER & LUNCH:  We do not have a troop running a snackbar/canteen this year, so
plan on bringing lunch or a snack if you'll be there all day.  BRING WATER, DRINK WATER! 

UNIT FLAG:  Proud display of your unit flag is encouraged!


THIS IS A UNIFORMED EVENT:  No surprise!


FEE:  $5 includes 1 event patch

Fee gets your entire Cub Scout family in with a Game Card for every person.

$5 is also the fee for individual Boy Scouts or others (incl. adult leaders) registering separately. Patch supply is limited and is first-come, first-serve.  Extras will be for sale.

 

HOW TO REGISTER:  We are registered.  Please check with Mr. Abernathy

 

RAIN OR SHINE:  Come prepared for any weather!  Activities will be halted only for hazardous weather conditions.  (We're not able to offer rain checks/refund, sorry.)
