2008 Blue & Gold Banquet

Thursday, May 15th - St Mary's Parish Center - Doors open at 6:00 PM

Cost: $10 per person (12 and under free)

Blue and Gold banquet is one of the highlights of our Cub year. It brings together Pack 7's families for a dinner and an evening of fun to cap off the year. The meal is important, but even more important is the warm, congenial atmosphere created as families enjoy each other's company and celebrate the Cubs crossing over to their new ranks.

Please remit your payment to your den leader as soon as possible (so we can pay for the food) or mail a check payable to St Mary's Cub Scout Pack 7 to our treasurer, Joanne Pinheiro at 6 Elyse Road, Mansfield, MA 02048.

The 1933 "Cub Leaders' Round Table" first suggested Parent/Cub dinners. Soon thereafter, Pack 1 of Michigan City started a tradition of pot-luck dinners where the dads were to bring utensils made of wood, whittled by the Cub with his dad. In the 1930s father/son 'bean dinners' and 'Cub family dinners' began to become commonplace. Finally, in 1943 the name "Blue and Gold Banquet" first appeared in BSA literature.
