Our troop color guard did a great job at the annual Park Hill 4th of July parade. And pretty much we thought we were done for the summer. The next event we generally take part in is the Veteran's Day parade in November.
Not so fast...our color guard was invited to support two events in July for Southeast Denver Baseball. Also in July, our color guard was asked to provide support for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Finally in July, our color guard was found on facebook and requested to support the Paralyzed Veteran's of America Rocky Mountain Roll.
In August, our color guard was invited back to present the colors at the National Night Out event at Cook Park. Our color guard will coordinate flag duties with members of other scouting organizations, cub scouts and girl scouts.
Recently, we have had 2 requests for support for separate events on the same weekend August 12 & 13. These requests we have had to decline, because the troop, including color guard members are going on a 14ner campout, and are simply unavailable.
I'm so proud of these scouts who provide this service, and their parents, without whom the scouts could not do any of these presentations.
Congratulations on a job well done. Keep up the good work.
