Blue and gold event program

Evening was filled with skits, songs, and run-ons. If you do not conduct a Campfire Show as a Pack Meeting, consider doing so. Potluck here, with the Pack providing the chicken. We start with Scout Sunday, move next door to the parish hall where we have the Blue and Gold, and then have our Pinewood Derby. Our pack does a Blue and Gold after our Pinewood Derby.

Eveyone is eating while the leaders are deciding on race awards. We used to do a crossover and Court of Honor, but the day got too long. Dinner is also a captive audience for Friends of Scouting presentation. I have tied in the theme from Resident cub camp to get the boys interested in the camp. Reason 2 is we are all sick of the cold and snow. Our biggest expense was the cake. Only because we had the ranks printed on edible paper by a local bakery. The boys made tiki centerpieces out of recycled tin cans, scrap contact paper, and self stick colored foam during the den meeting before Blue and Gold.

The bears, to complete the Grin and Bear it elective, wrote a skit about how a tiki became a cub scout and worked his way up to Bridge over and earned his Arrow of light.

Our local pack has a combined Blue and Gold and Pinewood Derby. The pack buys chicken strips and drinks. Low cost to the families and not too bad for the pack.

The venue is a church hall that we can use for free. Thanks for this article! Basically a court of honor with food. So the next year we added some program.

I will never forget our Cubs with their mouths open in awe as they watched the dancing. And it was free. It was inexpensive and lots of fun. After the entertainment the boys were even able to sit still for the awards! This year, our event will be long but will include a lot. Catered meal, so no one has to cook food. So for are pack we buy the chicken, cake and make the coffee and bug juice.

We also cook the chicken. Each family is asked to sign up for a side dish or dessert. The Bear Den is in charge of the games for the evening. Everyone wants to be part of the fun! In the meantime, please leave a comment with any questions or advice from your own experience.

This, of course, does not contradict any of the great suggestions in the article, but it does place the event into a very busy time of the year and, perhaps, require a bit more planning and coordination for resources and clearing of time conflicts. And the Master of Ceremonies is you — the Cubmaster.

Before the big day Establish the location, date and time. Every pack is different in where and when they celebrate. Many use the facilities of their chartered organization; others meet in another place. Confirm everything a week or so beforehand.

Plan your meal. Your budget will dictate this to some extent. Line up your entertainment. For more party tips and theme ideas, check out our Pinterest board!
