 It is the pleasure of the Lexington Blueberry Festival Committee to announce the 2010 Festival Grand Marshalls, for their outstanding lifetime commitment to Family, Community, and Country.
Eagle Scout Mr. Harold Robinson will be our parade Grand Marshall, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America and 75th anniversary of Lexington Boy Scouting. Harold was one of the first scouts enrolled in Lexington Troop 1 in 1935. He was the only Lexington Scout to attend the very first BSA National Jamboree in 1937 in Washington D.C.
In 1940, Harold was one of the first two Eagle Scouts in Troop 1. Troop 1 was chartered by the Presbyterian Church in 1935, making it the 3rd oldest organization in Lexington. Both present day troops 131 and 152 are  descendants of that Troop.
All current and former Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturing Scouts and all Scout Leaders in the area are encouraged to “Celebrate the Adventure, Continue the Journey” of Scouting by marching in the parade. Take this opportunity to reconnect with your Scouting friends and show your Scouting spirit. There are over 50 million alumni of the Boy Scouting program. Over 4 million youth and 1.2 million volunteers are actively engaged nation-wide. More information about Scouting and the 100th Celebration can be found at www.scouting.org.
