For the first time ever, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will include a Girl Scout float! The float will feature girls climbing and belaying  giant, globe- forming  puzzle pieces,  connecting them to "build a better world." The 90th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade airs nationwide on NBC, Thursday, November 24, 2016, from 9:00 a.m. to noon across time zones. Learn more about the float!

Your girl can be a part of this event by purchasing this commemorative patch online or challenge herself by taking on a few fun challenges during the parade like drawing her own float and finding different things in the parade. See all the details and go for the parade challenge!
