You made it.

Ok, you made it though the BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET..... I hope you had fun. We always have allot of fun. One thing I forgot to tell you is make sure each Cub has somekind of award. Like Beads, Arrow points, Rank advancement, belt loops, sport pins, any thing... See ya next month

The Day of the Banquet

On the day of the banquet teach them the Hookie Lau, or Pearly Shells. At the banquet have them bring their parents up and teach them and make them do it infrout of all the other parents there... Its soooooo muuuuccchhh FFFFFUUUUNNN.....

Blue and Gold Banquet

Now you are ready for the Banquet, except one fun thing. You need to teach them a Flag Ceremony. I had the kids make Drums and had them beat them as the flag came in. The kids that brought the flag came in like Fijian drummers. We had music from Fiji (sound like drums) in the back ground. They had so much fun.

Blue and Gold Banquet 3

Hey Everyone,,,,,
Ok, Place Matt, Centerpiece, Name Place, Napkin Rings, Whats Next?? Something for Mom and Dad. I wanted to make real flower Leis but it is really expensive and out troop doesn't have allot of money. I went to Walmart and asked if they had any left over silk flowers and what they did with them. They always have flowers that people take more of the flower part and leave the stem so they held the ones that was left over and I took them and had the kids make leis for Mom and Dad. Take string, straws, and flowers. String a flower and a cut straw (about 1" to 1/2" long) until it is all strung. Its great to see the cubs welcome their parents to the Banquet.

Blue and Gold Banquet 2

Lets see, Place Mat, Center Piece, Whats Next. Place cards and Napkin rings? Ok this is easy and you may want to have a game ready when they have it all done. Remember, KISMIF. (Keep It Simple, Make It Fun) also, plan more then you think you need. Place cards can be almost anything. Make a origami boat, fish, plane, bird, box or anything. With that in mind, make the napkin rings match the place card. Use the left over cardboard from your toilet paper. Cut it in 1/2" or 1" increments. Good luck.

Blue and Gold Banquet Ideas

Ok, now we have the Place Matt. What next. You should make the table decorations. You have allot of options. You can make a palm tree with newspaper, get grass or raffia, or sand. You can make little chairs, buy little beach balls, get coconuts, make origami flowers and birds and fish, or make tiki masks. We made Tiki masks. You take some cardboard and cut out a tiki shape. Cut out eyes, and a mouth and let the kids decorate it. Tie some Raffia on the top for hair. they turn out really cute and the kids love to play with them.

Looking forward to February

Looking forward to February the Cub Scouts should be getting ready for the "BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET". The is a big deal..... As the Den leader you need to make the decorations for your table. The first week you need to make place mats. The Theme is "ALOHA CUB SCOUTS". This should be one of the easiest months you will have. This week the Idea for you is...... the place mat. Take a large green piece of constructions paper ( you can get at the Utah Idaho store) They need to learn about a flag in the United States so what I did is copy the flag of Hawaii (you can get it on the Hawaii web page) had them color in the stripes blue and red and place on the construction paper. We then cut the edges of the construction paper and curled it up to make it look like grass. So good luck!!!!!!!
