Hi all – For those participating in the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, I just wanted to clarify a few things:  

– Check in time will start at 11am, at the intersection of Greenbank Road & Knoll Rd in Boonton.  (My GPS recognized this address and gave the correct directions)

– Once you check in, you will be directed to the correct location to meet up with the rest of Pack 142.  

– The parade starts at noon, so definitely want to be at check-in by 11:30am to give you time to join us before we begin walking.  

– Finally, please note that we can't throw candy this year; we have to hand it out.  Please bring your own candy if you wish to do so.

See you there!

Yours in scouting,

Steve | Cubmaster
