Blue and Gold Banquet
Reminder that our annual Blue and Gold Banquet will take place this Sunday afternoon, March 2, 2008 at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Charles. The program will commence at 2:00 PM, but if you can lend a hand setting up starting at noon, many hands will make light work.
For those who have not taken part in a Blue and Gold Banquet in the past, it is a celebration of the anniversary of Cub Scouting, and will feature awards, food, and a special program presentation.
Final sign ups for the District Pinewood Derby will take place at the Blue and Gold Banquet. The top three finishers in each den--plus the top three designs--will be eligible to take part in the district race on March 15.
Den leaders and cubs are encouraged to display any of the crafts and things that they created this year for sharing with other cub scouts and the family members who will attend this event.
I will take reservations for Cub Scout Resident camp and Webelos Resident camp for this summer. I highly recommend this element of the outdoor program for all Cub Scouts.
Webelos Program:
Where You Will Go:
Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation, Pearson, WI

When You Should Be There:
June 29 through July 2, 2008

Ken’s Pitch:
One of my additional scouting tasks is carrying out inspections for boy scout and cub scout camps. The team I work with looks at the quality of the program, safety, quality of the staff, food, and fun. I recommend the Indian Mound Reservation near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin for cub scouts and first year Webelos, but for the older cub scouts in the pack, the program offered here is exceptional.
