Lineup for the parade is at 1PM. Details on the lineup location will be provided closer to the date. Did you know that not only do you have to complete a background check for certain volunteer positions (i.e. Troop Leader, Cookie Manager, etc) but you also have to complete one if you will be transporting a group of the girls for outings? Given the size of our Troop this year that might possibly happen. We are asking the parent(s) of each girl to complete the online background check information so if the situation ever arises, Julie and I will not have to scramble at the last minute.
