Holiday Lights at East Cobb Park

Description: Join the Friends for East Cobb Park’s Holiday Lights Celebration. Scouts have assisted with the Holiday Lights event for nearly 20 years. It’s fun, and it’s a great way to remind our community that scouting is alive and well. Flyer attached.

Date: Sunday, December 7th, 2025

Time: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM

We need a dozen Scouts or Scouters that can help us direct foot and parking traffic during Santa’s entry to the park (~5:30 – 6:30 p.m.)
The park gets pretty crazy when Santa arrives!
Field (class A) uniform would be ideal.
