Introducing the 2028 St Patrick's Day Parade Project Opportunity
- You will be responsible for your airfare, as well as for getting to the hotel upon arrival and back to the airport for departure. This will allow you to extend your stay on either end of our schedule, March 12-18, 2028.
- We will be using a tour company, Bob Rogers Travel, to help facilitate hotel, busing, and rehearsal facilities. The person we have been working with is an alumnus of the Scouts!
- We will use an app/online application so you can pay the tour company directly. This app also lets you ask friends and family to help fund your trip.
- Remember that this project will include alumni from the Scouts, Capitolaires, Junior Scouts, Petites, Capitol Sound, State Street Review, 32nd Hussar, and Southwind. We are also extending this invitation to the current Scouts.
- Instruments and equipment will be handled once we know who will be participating.
- The approximate cost will be $2,500 per person for double occupancy and $3,200 per person for single occupancy in a hotel room. There is no option for triple or quad occupancy. Please understand that these costs will likely change by 2028, but we are aiming for a very close final cost estimate.
- Costs include: Motor coach transportation, 6 nights in a hotel, all breakfasts while at the hotel, 4 dinners and 1 lunch, rental of rehearsal facilities, sightseeing activities including a visit to the Cliffs of Mohr and Galway, and a Gaelic Games experience, a video of the trip, an international power adaptor, and an onsite representative from the tour company.
- 2028 may seem far off, but we need you to commit by November 1, 2026.
- Optionally, you can bring a family member or friend.
- Some websites for you to look at:

Initial Ireland Parade Survey period ends
First, we'd like to thank the hundreds of you who took the time to fill out the survey.
It is startling to see how naturally all the sections are filled with enthusiastic alumni. We'll share details about our next steps soon. However, in the meantime, by the end of this month (September), you'll want to register to access the members' area of this website. Over the next month, we'll add information and potentially materials to help members officially start their journey. Those who sent their surveys in with either Unsure or Yes for participation have already had their email addresses added to our Ireland Interest email list. We'll communicate for the next month using that area. Once November arrives, we'll switch over to section member email lists.
Here are some of the potential group statistics:
