Annual Blue and Gold Banquet

This year's Blue and Gold theme is "Turn Back Time!"

Our Pack's Blue and Gold banquet will be February 22, at 6:30pm
(Formal Invitations to Follow)

This is a big event for Cub Scouts-we are celebrating the birthday of Sir Baden Powell and the birthday of Cub Scouting! The Blue and Gold is a great time for your son to earn awards and advancements, so if he needs a little motivation to finish a few things, this is a good one!

Every year we have an annual cake contest for the Fathers/Sons to participate in. The boys get to make a cake with their Dad (or Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Mom) and bring it to the dinner to share. We will have awards for the cakes!

We will be using the theme for the cake contest (although you can make any kind of cake that you want and decorate it however you'd like!) and for our skits. Each den got a different era for their skit ranging from the roaring 50's the to 70's! We will be practicing at our den meetings. Be prepared for a good show, and bring your own singing voice!

For dinner at the Blue and Gold we will be enjoying a baked potato bar. The pack will provide butter, sour cream, cheese and chili. We have invited the families to bring any other toppings they might want to share!

This will also be the final night to collect money from the sale of the coupon books! Our goal is to sell the books fast and quick as the earlier you turn them in the more commission you get!

We look forward to seeing you and your family there!
