Veterans Day Parade & Ceremony

November 11, 2026

​

Scout Families. If you know a Veteran, invite him/her to participate in the Veteran Motorcade:

​Veterans  arrive in personal vehicles at 12:45pm at American Legion Plaza (Vermont Terrace near Crestwood Train Station). Motorcade with police escort begins at 1pm.  See American Legion website for map view of route.​

​

Instructions for Scouts and Families. 

​​We are asking Pack 6 Cub Scouts to:

1) Invite a relative or neighbor who is a Veteran to participate in the parade or they can drive in the motorcarde. Invite neighbors to line the parade route. Spread the Word!!

​

2) Plan with your scout friends where you'd like to meet up on the route. Try to spread out across the route to avoid empty spots.

​

3) Once the motorcade passes, spectators can make their way to the Annunciation School gym for a brief ceremony starting at 1:30pm. 

​

4) Make a poster to wave on the route, such as "Thank You" or "We Love our Veterans". Let our vets know you care! 

​

5) Make "Thank You" cards to give to Veterans during the Veteran Meet & Greet that follows the ceremony

​

6) Bring cookies or a baked item to the gym to contribute to the fun.
