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.

Congratulations to Kellan and big thank you to all parent volunteers for making this event a success!

We would LOVE if scouts come to the first pack meeting with their uniforms, but if you can’t get it by then, DON’T STRESS. This is a great page which explains what each scout should have as part of their uniform with a few clarifications: https://www.scouting.org/programs/cub-scouts/cub-scout-uniform/ Clarifications: Scouts do no need scout pants or shorts (unless you want to buy them) Lion Scouts (TK & KG) only
