The first pack meeting after a long summer break is always exciting! For this first pack meeting of the school year, we had several prospective scouts and parents who came to check us out.

Blue and Gold Banquets are a tradition in Cub Scout packs. They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the BSA on February 8, 1910. Along with the banquet, our pack also held The Arrow of Light bridging ceremony during our Pack Meeting this past Monday for our Webelos II scouts. The Arrow of Light is both a rank and an award. It is the highest achievement in Cub Scouting, and the only Cub Scout Award that can still be worn once a scout enters ScoutsBSA. We had a special celebration with families, friends, and special guests in attendance.
