Blue & Gold Banquet

The Blue and Gold Banquet is a celebration of the birthday of Scouting.  The Scouting movement in the U.S. began in 1910 and was modeled after the organization that Lord Baden Powell created in Britain in 1908.  Since then the BSA has provided a program that gives youth the tools to become great leaders.

Pack 1833 will celebrate this occasion with a pot luck dinner (sign up by clicking the image at the bottom of this page) and an epic cake contest (sign up using the Google Form on this page).

This year's Blue and Gold theme will be Video Games!

Cake Baking Contest

Every Cub Scout is encouraged to enter a cake in the cake decorating contest! The Cub Scout and an adult should plan, bake and decorate their cake together. Pick one of the categories below and HAVE FUN! Remember this is a project for the kids! The adult should be there to assist, but let the kids have fun creating something wonderful.

Rules

1. Cake check-in will take place from 5:30 – 6:00pm.

2. Judges will be picked during the Blue and Gold Event

3. Do not put any names or den numbers on the cakes. You will be issued a number for your cake when you check-in.
