Knight 10 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 These themes sound great. We recently had our Blue and Gold. This time of year in South Florida is generally very good - not hot and humid like the rest of the year - so we hold it at a local park on a weekend. We have lots of carnival games, and plenty of activities. The food is burgers, dogs and chicken cooked on the parks's big grill. Nothing fancy, but it is a very fun, family-friendly afternoon. We just have basic blue and gold decorations all around. We have some goofy parent (and den chief) awards and are also trying to recognize the parents who are not registered leaders but who show some promise of stepping up their participation a bit to become Scouters.

Sephrina 10 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sounds like you have a plan, which is more then I can say for my son's pack. I think we have half a plan, which will probably translate into boredom and chaos. Karen Link to post Share on other sites
Pack212Scouter 10 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 This is our plan so far. We chose to have our B&G at a buffet resturant to both because there is a food variety for everyone and so that the committee can actually get home before 11pm! (No cleanup except breaking down our equipment). We're doing Friends of Scouting at our PWD between check-in and race time. 5:30 Setup / Banquet Committee Dinner 7:00 Doors Open / Dinner / Year in Review Slide Show 7:20 Flag Ceremony - Webelos Opening Prayer - Committee Chair Overview / VIPs / Announcements - Cubmaster 7:30 Song - Cubmaster 7:35 Arrow of Light Awards - Cubmaster / A-CM-Webelos / Awards 7:45 Song - Cubmaster 7:50 Rank Awards - Cubmaster / All A-CMs / Awards 8:40 Prize Drawing (1 per rank + Grand Prize 8:45 Cub Scout Vespers - Cubmaster 8:50 Closing Comments / Closing Prayer - Committee Chair 8:55 Closing Flag Ceremony - Webelos (This message has been edited by Pack212Scouter) Link to post Share on other sites
SctDad 10 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 You know, I never thought about going to a buffet eatery. I think that might be something for next year. Maybe when we have a little more funding or when the parents might be able to do something. we will have to see. I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the idea. Link to post Share on other sites
