Its time to register for Pack 24’s annual Blue & Gold Banquet on Sunday, February 23. Since we have so many new scouts – here’s what the Blue & Gold is all about:
- We hold it in February to commemorate the founding of Boy Scouts on February 8, 1910.
- Each den leader will summarize the activities and recognize each cub scout.
- We have a ceremony for all Webelos II scouts that have earned the Arrow of Light – which is the highest award in cub scouts
- The Webelos II scouts then cross over to join the ranks of the Troop 24 Boy Scouts
- A buffet dinner will begin after all of the ceremonies
- A slide show of our major events during the year
- A souvenir program for each scout
- Finally, all scouts that participate in the event will be given a sweet patch to commemorate the event.
This year’s Blue & Gold will be held at the Riverside Golf Club, which is conveniently located at 2520 Des Plaines, in North Riverside. The cost per person is as follows:
- Adults and siblings age twleve or older: $25
