Come show your Scout spirit at the Fremont 4th of July Parade, marking America’s 250th birthday!! All Units in Mission Peak District are invited and encouraged to participate in the parade under the District’s auspices.  Please enter your Unit’s interest here: https://forms.gle/uCQBe1ARuLJht6ry6 Please provide your interest and requested information by June 20, 2026.

The District asks that each Unit ensure that two (2) adults (registered with Scouting America) from their Unit attend the parade.  These adults will be responsible for all of the Scouts and adults from your Unit attending the parade.  They will need to be present from assembly for the parade, marching in the parade and after the parade ends, to ensure that all Scouts are picked up.  Units must also ensure that these adults have medical forms (AHMR, parts A, B1, B2 & copy of insurance card) for all Scouts and adults from their Unit who are participating in the parade.

Scouts should attend in their Field Uniform (Class A).  Adult leaders are also encouraged to attend in their Field Uniforms, if they have one.  Units will be able to march with their Unit flag, American flag and/or Unit banner.

Here is some preliminary information, provided by the parade organizers:

– Parade route: Begins at Fremont Main Library, continues north on Paseo Padre Parkway towards the new “Downtown” area and ends at Capital Ave.

– Participants need to arrive by 8am at the assembly point (near the Fremont Main Library).  The parade will begin at approximately 9am.  Please note these are approximate times, and are subject to change.  Finalized information including timings will be provided several days before the parade.

– Parking will be limited, so please plan accordingly and encourage participants from your Unit to carpool and/or be dropped off near the assembly point.

 – Volunteers working with the parade organizers will be present to assist you in locating the District’s assembly location and answer any questions.

Final details and information will be provided to all participating Units several days before the parade.  In the meantime, if you have any questions, please reach out to Meena Mariwalla ().
