When Girl Scouts participate in a Veterans' Parade, they honor the brave men and women who have served our country. By joining the parade, Girl Scouts can show gratitude, support veterans and their families, and learn the importance of citizenship and community service. The Veterans Parade gives Girl Scouts, family, and friends the opportunity to live the Girl Scout values while making veterans feel appreciated.
Please note: No cars or floats are allowed; participants must march along the parade route.
