Troop 57 - Garland Texas - Labor Day Parade 2002


Building The Float
The Scouts really went all out on the design of this year's float. The guys lashed together cedar poles to construct the framework. The poles were a result of an earlier service project Troop 57 did for the Heard Museum in McKinney We removed the cedar from an area they are trying to restore to native prairie.

Scoutmaster, Scouts and Scouters lashing together the framework.

Scouts lashing together A-Frames to be used assembling the float
