Granville 4th of July Parade

The Granville 4th of July festivities are over,

but the memories are still fresh in our minds!

This year's parade theme was "100 Years of Scouting" and in honor of that, Assistant Scout Master, Al Dantzer invited all of the Licking County Cub Scout and Boy Scout Units to join Pack 3 and Troop 65 in this event in an attempt to make it as special as it could be. We had the pleasure of being joined by Newark Cub Packs 75, 40 and 14, and Heath Pack 9 along with very strong participation from Newark Boy Scout Troop 4. In fact, most of the Scouts that were seen walking and carrying flags in the parade were our guests!

Since the Cub Pack 3 winning float was supported by a team of guest Scout units from Newark and Heath, Pack 3 is donating the $100.00 winnings to the Licking County Food Pantry Network on behalf of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts of Licking County.
