2022 Memorial Day Parade in Dacula

Attention: Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Parents and Scouts:

Memorial Day, May 29, 2023 - The day to remember the significance and importance of this National Holiday.

I would like to invite your Pack and/or Troop to participate in the 30th Annual Dacula Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 29, 2023. Deadline to register is Friday, May 12, 2023.

The Theme of this year’s parade is “Resting as Heroes”.

Class A uniform is required!

The Scouting program focuses on the character building opportunities available to all Americans. One of the most important opportunities for Scout growth can occur on Memorial Day.

The Dacula Memorial Day Parade is one of the highest profile events in Gwinnett County for public awareness of Scouting that your Pack and/or Troop can participate in. It is important that we recognize this opportunity to make sure each of our Scouts are aware of the sacrifice made by thousands of Americans who died guarding our precious liberties and way of life.

Parade staging and lineup begins as early as 7:30 am at Hebron Baptist Church, 202 Hebron Church Road, Dacula, GA. Please plan to arrive and check in before 9:00 a.m. The parade steps off promptly at 10 a.m.

Go to www.daculamemorialday.com for more information and to download the entry form.

Please email the completed entry form to dmdparade@gmail.com or you can mail it to the address on the form.

Feel free to email me at dmdparade@gmail.com with any questions.

Regards,
Marvin Atherton
Founder, Memorial Day in Dacula
