Look for Cubmaster Andy on the grassy lawn.

Bring signed waivers for everyone in your group. For children under 18, their legal guardian must sign a waiver. To save you and us time, please arrive with your waivers already printed and signed.

Provide your print waiver to Cubmaster Andy (Pack 67) by 8:15am.

Approved participants will receive wristbands upon returning their signed consent forms. Only once your paperwork is complete will your group be led to your staging sequence.
No one will be allowed in the parade without a signed waiver and a wristband.

👉Tip: There will be a lot of standing around. OPA will put us in our marching order beginning at around 8:30am and we must be a complete party.

2. New Plan for Post-Parade - Pulse at the Park!

This event (at Tongva Park) will bring global energy of the World Cup to the local community for the ultimate post-parade celebration. There will be food from Level Up Burgers and Ubatuba, a beer garden, face painting, photo booth, live DJ sets, dance performances, and live music from The Jane Fondas.

Pulse at the Park

At the Civic Center Lot and Beach Lots 4 & 5. We recommend walking, biking, or using Big Blue Bus

NO PETS

While the parade will have animals, including horses, we ask you to leave your dog(s) at home out of consideration for other families.

NO POLITICS

Per the Ocean Park Association, no campaign, advertisement or group material may be displayed without a confirmation from the parade committee. OPA reserves the right to remove signage not in compliance with the parade guidelines that all applicants signed. Packs 12 and 67 have submitted our marketing materials to OPA for approval.
