🇺🇸 Kings County Memorial Day Parade — 2025

Join us as we march with pride and purpose in the 159th Annual Kings County Memorial Day Parade, the longest continually running Memorial Day parade in the United States.

Troop 23 will be there in full force — and we expect every Scout to do the same. This is not just another event on the calendar. Memorial Day is a federal holiday with deep meaning, honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. Our participation reflects our respect, gratitude, and duty.

📍 Parade Details

• Step-off location: 76th Street & 3rd Avenue
• Parade begins: 11:00 AM sharp

This event is mandatory for all Scouts. Please wear your full Class A uniform (shirt, pants, neckerchief, sash if earned). If you are absolutely unable to attend, notify your PL, SPL, and ASPL in advance.

Let's represent Troop 23 with honor and integrity.
