memorial Day parade
Each year in Katonah Lewisboro, Scouts participate in the annual Memorial Day parade. The girls love to get dressed up in their uniforms and march in front of their friends and neighbors.
Goldens Bridge Memorial Day Parade:
Departs from GB Railroad Station around 10am (check the local paper to be sure) and the groups march down to the Goldens Bridge Community House where there is a short ceremony honoring those who fought and died for our country. This is a pretty small town parade, with mostly the scout troops and Firemen as the participants.
South Salem Memorial Day Parade:
Departs from Spring Street and South Lakeshore Drive and marches toward the South Salem Presbyterian Church. This parade is larger with more community groups getting involved. At the end there is a fair on the grounds of the SS Presbyterian Church.
Parade Floats: There are no official rules regarding floats so any troop can create one. One year our Junior Troop decorated a wagon with a sandwich board decorated with Reduce/Recyle/Reuse and messages about cleaning up the environment. We used streamers and balloons and large poster board.
