Parades! Parades! Parades! :)

 Girl Scouts have always held a presence in community parades...
Lately, parade attendance has decreased (in my hometown, at least), and attendance seems more like a chore then a treat. Here are some fun ideas that other troops have done to bring the fun back to parade events!



Is there a parade coming up in your area?
Check out these cute ideas to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of GSA while marching!





Dress up as a cake or a gift ! Get girls excited about parades ! :)

Making banners can be fun as well!
 Spend some time making a troop banner-and the girls will be eager to show off what they have made!









Parades of the Past...
