Background

The Blue & Gold banquet is our annual awards banquet for Pack 39 scouts and their families, and it is a time for families to come together and honor the efforts and achievements of their Scouts during the past year.  There is a delicious  Papasito's mexican dinner and cake for dessert (provided courtesy of the Pack).  Scouts should come dressed in full uniform with their Bragging Vests.  Scouts receive Rank advancements and other awards that they have earned.  We also often use the Blue & Gold banquet as a time to reflect upon our achievements, the fun we have had, and the services we have provided to our community.  

We will use the Blue and Gold Banquet to highlight community service opportunities and announce the charitable donations the Pack has made based on our highly profitable Popcorn Sale.  

Please check with your den leader for more details about the banquet as its date approaches.  They will need a headcount for the number of people in your family (adults and kids), so that we can order the correct amount of food.  

2008 Blue & Gold Banquet Details

Our annual Blue & Gold and Arrow of Light Ceremony  is scheduled for Sunday February 24th from in the early evening, time TBD.  This is one of our most important events of the year and we hope every family will attend.  The committee responsible for planning and executing this event has been hard at work!

Please plan to be at the event as we will start on time!!  Your Den Leader will be asking for a headcount for your family.  Every family member is invited – siblings and grand parents included!  Please respond so that we can accurately plan for the food / dessert and not waste the Pack’s resources.

We have an action packed agenda!  Here is a summary:

• Pack 39’s Charitable Donations  

• Arrow of Light – the graduation ceremony for our Webelos IIs.  Boy Scouts from the Order of the Arrow will provide excitement for all the Scouts.  This is a major achievement in Scouting that all the kids need to experience and look forward to.

• Entertainment - to be determined

• Wolf and Bear Rank Advancement – our Wolves and Bears will receive their rank advancements!

• Papasito's and Blue & Gold Cake!!

Volunteers Are Needed:

• 6-8 volunteers to assist the event coordinator with the setup and cleanup of this event.  Setup will begin late afternoon / cleanup after the event.
