Pine Ford Lincoln & La Porte Cub Scout Pack 880 Partner for Parade Float

lp-4th-of-july-2013Yesterday was the Fourth of July, and a lot happened around Northwest Indiana. Fireworks, parties, festivals, parades, etc. The Jaycees Fourth of July Parade was among one of the parades.

The theme of the parade was "Blast from the Past - Honoring History in La Porte". And the La Porte Cub Scout Pack 880's float for the Jaycees Fourth of July parade was "Scouters Wall of Fame" to honor local Scouters that have made our local Scouting program fun & educational for our community's youth dating back to 1931.

Pine Ford Lincoln has generously donated the float tow vehicle.

Scouts honored on the float were:
