Daffodil Parade
Proctor District
March
28, 2009 at 9:45 am
Our line-up section and position number is F-5, located on or near the
Truman Middle School field. The parade begins at 10:00 am at North 28th
and Proctor and ends at North 26th and Washington. Though we don’t have to be in line and ready
to go until 10:40, we’re asking for scouts to come earlier, especially if it’s
your first time and for good parking. Street parking is very limited so
arrival, as early as 9am, is suggested. Parents can either drop off their scout
and watch the parade (recommended that you stand near the end of the route to
claim your scout once we’re done), or march with us at the rear (tag-a-longs
too). Looks like a wet one, so dress warmly in full uniform and wear rain gear
(they have ponchos at the dollar tree), clear if you have it.

Boys’ Life Reading Contest
Boys' Life has a reading contest each year. You can write a one-page report titled “The Best Book I Read This Year” and enter it in the Boys’ Life 2008 “Say Yes to Reading!” contest.
The book can be fiction or non-fiction. But the report has to be in your own words – 500 words tops. Enter in one of the three categories:
- 8 years old and younger
- 9 and 10 years old,
- 11 years and older.
First-place winners in each age category will receive a $100 gift certificate good for any product in the Boy Scouts official retail catalog. Second-place winners will receive a $75 gift certificate, and third-place winners a $50 certificate.
Everyone who enters will get a free patch. (And, yes, the patch is a temporary insignia, so it can be worn on the Boy Scout uniform shirt, on the right pocket. Proudly display it there or anywhere!) In coming years, you’ll have the opportunity to earn different patches.
The contest is open to all Boys’ Life readers. Be sure to include your name, address, age & grade in school on the entry.
Send your report, along with a business-size, self-addressed, stamped envelope, to:
Boys’ Life Reading Contest
S306
P.O. Box 152079
Irving, TX 75015-2079
Entries must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2008 and must include entry information and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
