The Marina Service Unit is proud to say that its fantastic Service Unit Managers (SUMs) ALSO run the Girl Scout Rose Parade Float Decorating Volunteers for the Annual Pasadena Rose Parade. Gloria Halfacre & Julie Miller help to organize 14 days of decorating with over 8,000 Volunteers from High Schools, over 500+ Scout Troops, Crafters and Creative People! Each day sees two shifts of Volunteers with over 350 people per shift.
The process of creating these pieces of art has taken decades to fine tune. As Volunteers we come together with our community Girl Scouts, under the direction of the staff of Fiesta Parade Floats, and as such, we adhere to their policies and procedures.
This is a VERY time-consuming volunteer job. We need your cooperation to make it run smoothly so as to ensure everyone has a good time while getting the job done!! The process is a HUGE, methodical, undertaking so we ask you for your most tolerant consideration! Thank you kindly.
As Scouts in GSGLA, we are lucky to not only be able to decorate floats for the Rose Parade, but also one of the few with an opportunity to earn a Rose Parade Patch, which is one of the many Council Patches available from Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles.
