Blue & Gold Deadline

The Blue and Gold banquet is the annual celebration of Scouting in America. Each year our 5th grade den chooses a theme to build our celebration around. This year is...

A M E R I C A N    H E R O E S

we will be honoring all 5 military branches with special themed decor and contests

Great choice by our Arrow of Light Den! 

While the event itself is a little different each year, the purpose is the same -- to come together as a Pack family and bid our Arrow of Light Scouts farewell for this will be the last event they attend as Cub Scouts.

The purpose of the Blue and Gold is to commemorate the organization of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910 and to celebrate the birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts organization. The banquet is traditionally held in February because Baden-Powell was born February 22, 1857. The term "Blue and Gold" is the name because those are the official colors of the Cub Scout organization. Blue represents truth and loyalty, and gold represents good cheer, happiness, and helping others.

Your den leaders should be contacting you to verify how many from your family will be attending. The cost is $5 per person with a max of $20 per family. Everyone is asked to bring a side and enter a themed desert in our Cake Bake competition.

Our Blue and Gold will be Friday, February 21, 2020 at 6:30 pm. at the United Methodist Church of Keller's Family Life Center (the gym where we hold Pack meetings).

Another fun component we like to incorporate during dinner is our annual slide show. To make this successful, we need your photos! Please upload any photos you've taken of your scout at den meetings, Pack events, campouts, hikes or Pack meetings HERE! We want them all!!! They LOVE seeing their faces up on the screen!

Please RSVP through the links provided on the e-mail sent through Scoutbook no later than  Friday, February 7.
