Through the Storm: Eagle Scouts at the 2026 Rose Parade

The 2026 Rose Parade was truly one for the memory books. As it was only the 10th time in the parade’s 136-year history to be met with rain, the weather didn’t dampen spirits—our Eagle Scouts took it all in stride, proudly representing Scouting through the storm.

Now it’s time to relive those unforgettable moments. We invite you to view the incredible photos captured during the parade.

A heartfelt thank you to photographers Eric Shen and Bailey Shen for braving the rain alongside our Eagle Scouts and beautifully documenting this historic and inspiring experience.

Learning From the Experts: Law Enforcement in Action

Troop 373 recently welcomed a special guest from the District Attorney’s Office, Detective Huynh, who visited a troop meeting to share valuable insights on crime prevention, drugs, and DUI awareness, and the use of drone technology in law enforcement. One of the most anticipated highlights of the presentation is a live demonstration of public safety drones, giving Scouts a real-world look at how technology supports community safety.

Other units can take advantage of this opportunity as well. Detective Huynh is available to visit your unit to provide the same engaging presentation, provided there is an appropriate teaching space and a minimum of 10 participants.

Available dates are as soon as 2–3 weeks out, so don’t miss the chance to bring this unique and educational experience to your Scouts.
