What It's About:
The Blue & Gold Dinner is an annual Cub Scout tradition. The dinner is a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. 

Our Dinner:
Pack 47 typically coordinates a Potluck dinner with each Den being assigned to bring a kind of side dish (for example: salads, fruit, hot side dish, etc.). Your Den Leader will let you know how your Scout/family can contribute to the menu.

In 2023, however, we were able to raise enough funds that we were able to have the dinner catered. The meal included: BBQ pulled pork with roll, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and mac salad. The catering services will also include all utensils, plates, napkins, etc.

There are still some items that were still needed: drinks, fruit, cold veggies. We sent out a Sign-up for those remaining items.

Our Dinner also included an optional Dessert / Cake contest where those who wished to participate brought a dessert decorated in a theme. The theme in 2023 was Scouting, favorite sports team or both.

The Cub Master spent some time during the Dinner recognizing Scouts who have earned awards and badges. The Arrow of Light ceremony was also a part of the dinner as 5th graders cross over to Boy Scout Troop 47.

More information about the 2024 event will come soon! Stay tuned!
