Like a heel, I forgot to bring our good camera, but I was able to get a bunch of nice iPhone pictures of Pack 105’s participation in the Pensacola Veteran’s Day Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First I have to show off these two pictures because they melted my heart!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Scouts took turns carrying the flags…Timmy briefly carried the Pack 105 flag during the parade. The flags are very top heavy, so mainly older Scouts did this task, Timmy didn’t last very long at all.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This reminded me of the time Jacob carried the Pack 464 flag when we were in Bellevue, NE. He was a cute little Tiger scout at the time.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now for this year’s event. I was the coordinator for our Pack this year, taking care of registering the Pack with the Gulf Coast Veteran’s Advocacy Council, and then setting up a meeting space for the Scouts and their families.<\/p>\n

We don’t live super-close to Pensacola, so we only have a smaller group take part, but it’s so rewarding seeing the Scouts waving at the spectators. The older Scouts were noticing all the Veterans who were standing at attention saluting our group’s American flag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

These poor Scouts had to wait…and wait…and wait…for our position in the parade to start walking. There were over 100 entries and we were #83, phew!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jacob and his friend Seth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

When we finally started marching, the kids were definitely ready to go! They were so busy looking at the spectators, we had a couple of crashes when the group in front of us stopped and we were completely paying attention.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After the parade, one of the den leaders held a class on proper use and display of the U.S. flag.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

An awesome picture of the boys who stuck around for the flag class.<\/p><\/div>\n
