Everyone had fun, and it was the best blue and gold we have ever had. I was a Cubmaster for three years and have attended a number of blue and gold banquets since then as a Boy Scout leader. The most memorable banquets were those that had a ceremony or special event performed by people in our local council.
Also, older Scout leaders might be invited to share ceremonies and stories they have collected over the years. If Webelos Scouts are ready to graduate, we always have the ceremony at the banquet. What better time for Webelos Scouts to show off their accomplishments? I think the meal works best if the pack orders the main dish fried chicken, ham, or roast beef and each family brings a side dish. Our blue and gold banquet is held on a Saturday afternoon, after a small group of parents and leaders stay up until midnight Friday decorating for the big event.
We make a keepsake table decoration for boys and leaders and place cards for family members. The meal consists of baked chicken catered , chicken strips, baked potatoes, corn, green beans, and rolls prepared by the late-night crew , and each family brings its favorite dessert. Our banquet is dedicated to our graduating Webelos Scouts and their families.
We invite our brother Boy Scout troop, too. The Webelos Scouts receive their Arrow of Light awards, graduation certificates, years-of-service pins, and any other awards they qualify for. They then cross over the bridge to join the Boy Scout troop. We recognize our Webelos den leaders with a certificate and show our appreciation with a bouquet of silk flowers. Our blue and gold banquet is not the end of Cub Scouting but the beginning of the trail to Eagle.
We go all out! The blue and gold banquet is our ultimate annual celebration, and we try to make it as memorable as possible. We have a theme-based banquet, with the Webelos Scouts crossing over into Boy Scouting. Last year, we had a medieval knights theme and inducted a new Cubmaster by having him pull his sword from a stone.
Our banquet is a full meal. Meat and paper goods are provided by the pack, and the dens bring the other goodies. Dens do their own table decorations. This year, the Bears are providing and cooking the BBQ, plates, utensils and paper products. Tigers and Wolves are bringing side items. We are doing an Outer Space Theme, and are having a dessert competition the dessert has to match the theme. Our charter organization will be invited, and one of them will judge.
We will do skits, songs, and games. Each Den is responsible for their own table decorations. We found a golf course with a banquet facility, they only charge us for the cost of the food and do not charge for use of the facility. I do get bored with the menu chicken tender and spaghetti with meatballs, a garden salad but this seems to be a crowd pleasing meal for this age range.
We typically have some kind of entertainment—slot car track or balloon man. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube.
