Program News and Updates
The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is planning a fun evening that will help Girl Scouts who are working on their Tournament of Roses® Badge, Patch, or Interest Project meet requirements and introduce other Girl Scouts to the float building process. Girl Scouts will hear from an expert about the mechanics and building of floats, learn the float judging process, develop float ideas and more. There will also be a surprise guest to make it a very special and rewarding night! For more information, click on the flier here.
Millions of people around the world will ring in the New Year as the 121st Tournament of Roses Parade, themed “2010: A Cut Above the Rest,” rolls down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. Girl Scouts have the opportunity to experience the magic of the Rose Parade floats before New Year’s Day by decorating Rose Parade floats.
Girl Scout float decorators have the opportunity to learn about the creativity and science behind float building and decorating, work as a team to meet the New Year’s Eve decoration deadline, and experience the thrill of accomplishment as millions of viewers see their work. Girl Scouts can also earn a Rose Parade Float Decorating badge, an Interest Project Award, or a Tournament of Roses patch (available to all Girl Scouts), and money for their troop.
Float decorating opportunities are available for Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts, and will take place between November 14 and December 31.
