Court of Honor Props

[pjoycew]

Our troop is looking to update some of the olds props we use for court of honor. Does anyone have resources for ideas, instructions, and/or pictures for tablecloths, candleholders, andvancement boards, etc? Any help would be appreciated.

Several of the BSA resource materials show diagrams of candleholders and the like.

 

Tablecloths are usually standard stuff.

Here are my thoughts...

 

- create a candle holder by drilling holes in a log

 

- create a table cloth by getting say some cheap flat sheets and the iron on computer paper to customize them. I would also recommend making them colors that relate to the troop. For example are your neckerchiefs or t-shirts a troop color...

 

- Have each patrol make some kind of center piece that relates to their patrol

 

- The troop I made eagle in had a really cool light box ... it was about like 2 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall had a number of lights in it with a switch to control each individually ... over the top was the first class badge printed on a plastic like material. we had ceremonies where we would use for example second class may only get the scroll part lite up or maybe tenderfoot just the flur-de-le ...

 

- go to party stores, the scout store, scout stuff website, etc and look at what is out there, things u may be able to just buy and ideas you can barrow to make your own...

 

hope my wacky 2 cents was of some help...
