Represent the Boy Scouts of America by Marching in the 2025 Children's Gasparilla Parade.  We will have a float as well as walkers.  Scouts of all ages are invited to participate.  Scouts must be in uniform and parents in uniform or pack/troop T-shirts. Only scouts in uniform will be able to ride the float. We may not have enough space for all scouts to ride the float and will prioritize the youngest scouts and those with any mobility issues. Our goal will be to have every scout ride the float if possible. There will be about 20-40 spots available on the float and we will load kids on the float shortly before the parade begins. Not all kids are guaranteed a ride on the float but we will do our best to accommodate as many as we can.

To be in the parade you must register for $15 and will receive a wristband beforehand for each person joining us in the parade (scouts, parents, siblings, etc).  Pre-registration is required. There are no day-of registrations for this event.
