This solo cub from the pack participated in the Astoria Regatta Parade along with Troop 642 from Seaside. Good job scout.
It was a challenge because we were not plain marching and holding the flag by pole. Oh no. We were literally holding a single huge American 🇺🇸 flag for the Lions. One of the members created a device with clips, pvc pipe and rope to make this task easier for us to do.
Scoutmaster Gandy from the troop positioned cub to right center to ensure the middle of flag doesn’t touch the ground.
There were a few street corners to turn with the flag. There were a few areas of gusty wind coming through. And also times where we had to take full huge steps to catch up to the parade.
Arms got sore from holding in one position and it was a mighty walking distance from the hospital area into downtown and back.
