Pack 843 will be marching in the Bridgeville Memorial Day parade on May 28, 2012. If you are interested in marching in this parade, please e-mail Mark at mark@gubinskylaw.com so he will know how many kids will be there. (He buys candy for the kids to pass out during the parade and want to know how much candy he will need.) Please meet on Station Street by the American Legion Post at about 9:15 on the 28th.
