Yes they did, many moons ago... The Glendale Parks & Rec supplied a
troop some years...
I THINK the Scouts charged some admission, too....
Check with Glendale P&R about that...
Maybe the Police Dept. could supply reflective vests ???
And off-duty policepeople to go with them ???
Remember, WE are supposed to be GUESTS at this thing....
Let Glendale City supply the infrastructure...
