What is the Blue & Gold?

Blue and Gold celebrations are a tradition in Cub Scout packs. They celebrate the anniversary of the founding of Scouting America on February 8, 1910, and therefore often take place in February. 

Our Pack saves our Blue & Gold until May, when it serves as our end-of-year celebration. We recognize our Leaders. We award the Pinewood Derby trophies. We have Mr. Fury blow things up.

We award each Scout new rank badges, which they’ve been working on all year. Lions become Tigers, Tigers become Wolves, Wolves become Bears, Bears become Webelos, and Webelos become Arrows of Light. Their parents remove their old neckerchiefs and replace them with their new neckerchiefs.

And then, the peak of the ceremony: Our current Arrow of Light Scouts “graduate” Cub Scouts and move on to become members of Scouts BSA.

First, they will be awarded the highest award in Cub Scouts: The Arrow of Light award.

Then, they take part in a “bridging over” ceremony. On one side of the bridge, their Cub Scout neckerchiefs and shoulder loops are removed by their Pack leaders, and they cross to the Troop, where they receive their new neckerchief, shoulder loops, and hat. This is the last time they will be Cub Scouts, the last time we will see them on a Friday night (unless some come back to serve as Den Chiefs, which some surely will!).

This year, we will be bidding farewell to:

• Ezra W.
• Jake G.
• John D.
• Julian S.
• Sawyer M.

It is a fun, moving, bittersweet, and important night. There is a slideshow with photos from our adventures and activities this year. Good food is brought in from a caterer. There are cupcakes and a special cake that always seems to meet its demise at the hands of Mr. Fury.

It is the culmination and celebrateion of the whole year, and I hope you and your family will join us!
