Dear Parents,

On Saturday evening, there will be a Zombie Walk in Downtown Utica. The Zombie Walk is a charity event where the whole family can dress up as zombies and “shuffle” up Genesee Street as only zombies can. We would like to get a contingent of scouts there. Actually we would like to get a contingent of Zombie scouts and families to participate. You will need to do your own costumes and make up. Each person attending should bring a food item to donate or pet food item to donate. Other than that, there is no cost involved. There will be lots of entertainment as well. Go to this webpage for more information.

All scout families should plan on meeting in the Council Parking lot at 5pm on Saturday to finalize your costumes and props, then we will walk down to the start at the Stanley together. The parade of undead starts at 7pm. This is not an official council or unit event, but it just seemed like a fun thing to do. Therefore we will need parents to make sure that arrangements have been made for their children. This will not be a drop off and pick up later type of event, instead we need a responsible adult to accompany your scout. For example if your son wants to do the event and you cannot accompany him, please make arrangements with another parent to be responsible for your son. This is very much like a disorganized parade of shuffling and groaning zombies and the Troop cannot supervise everyone.

Remember, this is a family event, heck, bring your zombie dog and cat. It can be fun for everyone.
