Rice Street Parade

Pack 66 and Troop 66 joined forces again this past July to walk in the Rice Street Parade.  It was an enjoyable evening, and it's always nice to see the neighborhood come out to see the floats and of course, the candy!

Check out our new scouting float, complete with tent and campfire!
