On July 4, Lower Merion Scout troops volunteered at the town’s 77th annual celebration. They partnered with the Narberth 4th of July Committee to celebrate America’s birthday and draw the community together.

Recognized as the biggest celebration on the Main Line, this event attracts residents from Narberth and neighboring towns. The carnival took place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with plenty of fun family activities and refreshments. When the sun set, thousands gathered to hear live music and watch the amazing fireworks display to close out the day.

Here’s how the Scout troops and parents served the community:
