Blue & Gold Banquet

Celebrating 102 years of Scouting!

The Blue & Gold banquet is one of our most exciting events of the year, because it is a Birthday party for Cub Scouting in which all pack families can take part. The banquet is held in February, the anniversary month of the Boy Scouts of America which was organized in February 1910. The Cub Scout program was organized 20 years later in 1930.

The pack’s big celebration gets its name from the Cub Scout colors, Blue & Gold. Blue stands for truth and spirituality, steadfast loyalty and the sky above. The Gold represents sunlight, good cheer and happiness.
