RememberSchiff 2484 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Please correct me if I am wrong, this will be the first Presidential Inauguration since 1913 where no Boy Scouts will participate? President-elect Joe Biden was a Boy Scout. https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2016/05/19/vice-president-joe-biden-a-former-scout-says-scouting-teaches-valuable-life-lessons/ https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2017/01/17/scouts-and-presidential-inaugurations-have-a-long-interesting-past/ Link to post Share on other sites

RememberSchiff 2484 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 In a day full of history making achievements for women and people of color, Boy Scout Troop 358 (PA) played its own critical role in the inauguration of 46th President Joe Biden and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris. "This year we knew it was going to be virtual, so we felt safe about applying. We applied and waited and we had to film a video. We filmed it at the Art Museum, something to represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia and the Boy Scouts and the church," explained Wallace. And, the video will now be seen all over the country, throughout Inauguration Day, with Troop 358 running up the iconic Rocky steps to showcase Philadelphia’s youth to the nation.

MattR 1735 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 That would be fun to be part of. I missed the video played after the inauguration of places all across the country. Was this clip in that? I'd like to see that whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites
