Mardis Gras Parade 2016 (REMINDER)
Come out
and join us for the 65th Annual Lansdale Mardi Gras Parade!!
Saturday,
November 21st!!
The Parade
begins at 1:00. However, they recommend
you be at the line up location NO LATER than NOON, especially if you plan to
have a float!! With the roads closed off for the parade, it
can get difficult to get over to line up locations!!
This year’s
theme is “Holidays on the Beach”.
Each troop must respond NO LATER than October 25th with
the following information:
·
Do you plan to have a float or if your troop will just
be walking. (If a float is being used, I
need to know the length of the float!!)
·
The number of REGISTERED girls, along with REGISTERED
leaders and Parents.
·
Will you be decorating to the theme or just walking in
your uniform
*Please only allow registered girls/leaders/parents to
walk. Remind the other parents/siblings
that we need them on the sidelines cheering the girls on and taking photos!!
The past few years we have been towards the very beginning of
the parade. I am hoping for the same
line up, giving the girls that walk a chance to watch the rest of the parade
and see Santa arrive at the end!!
REMINDERS:
·
There are NO bathrooms close by! Please make sure parents have girls use
facilities before leaving the house!!
·
Girls should dress for the weather!! The parade lasts over 2 hours!! With the
waiting time, it is close to 3 hours they will be outside!! Gloves, hats, good walking shoes, etc. Water bottles are a good idea, but keep in
mind the above statement!
·
Please keep in mind that if you are handing out candy,
you must HAND it to the kids on the
sidelines. YOU CAN NOT THROW CANDY FROM FLOATS FOR
SAFETY REASONS!!!!
There is NO FEE for this event. The
parade committee does sell pins for $1 each. If your troop is interested in pre-ordering
pins, please let me know how many you would need, so they can have them ready
for us. You can also buy them from the
parade organizers while waiting. (If you want a lot, pre-order!) Make all checks out to Troop 77132, and I will
send one payment into the parade committee.
The past few years we
have had a group of over 100 girls!!!
RSVP: Kimmie
Claxon 215-317-3057 (cell) or kimmie5gib@yahoo.com Line up location is determined a
week before the parade!! Once I have
that info - I will pass it along to the troops walking with us. The parade ends at Penndale Middle School. You will need to coordinate with your parents
on a meeting location for when the parade ends.

Electronic Forms
Make sure you have Health Forms for all your girls, even if they are staying in place from last year with no changes. If you are meeting outside your normal place/time, you also need a Permission Slip (in addition to a Day Trip form, see below). If you will be discussing anything listed on the Sensitive Issues Form (like religion, global citizenship, safety, etc), you need a form. (I suggest doing one that covers the year and checking off multiple boxes, with the date range of Oct 1, 2015-Sept 30, 2016 as a way to fully cover yourself if you are discussing any sort of possible sensitive issue. I keep my forms with my Health Forms.) Parents can fill out a Financial Aid form if they need help with Registration (which must be done via paper if submitting FA) or Dues. *Adults can also do FA requests for their Registrations. (Mail FA with Reg to: Girl Scouts of Eastern PA, Attn: Financial Aid Request, 2633 Moravian Avenue, Allentown, PA 18103)
Day Trips (all day trips, regardless of distance from meeting place)
Overnights (1-2 nights or 3 nights w/ holiday)
Extended Trips (these get submitted to trips@gsep.org and DO NOT get submitted to me for approval. You may cc me on the email so that I have you in our records, but your approval will come from Council, not me.) Along the lines of an Extended Trip, this is the Parent Permission Form for an Extended Trip.
Did someone get hurt on your event or trip? Fill out the Claims Form and submit ASAP.
Do you need to know if someone has a COI on file? This is the current list of on file COIs. If you need to submit a request, use the COI request form.
Is your event High Risk? If so, you need a High Risk Form. (I'm sorry to report that it seems trampolines are still a no-no.)
Are parents driving? Are you driving Girl Scouts anywhere? Make sure your drivers are background cleared, registered as adult GS, and that you have the Driver Form on file.
Are you allowing non GS participants at your activity or event? This includes non-Scout children. If so, then you need to pay for Plan 2 insurance. (Forms that include non-registered Scouts will not be approved without Plan 2.) If you need other insurance, this link lists the different types available.
EVENT: B-I-N-G-O
Come out for a great night of fun! This event is for older girls (Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, & Ambassadors) only; the cost is $6 per girl. Checks made to GS Troop 71239 must be received by 10/9/15. Please contact Sarah with questions or to register. Date: Friday, October 23 2016
