The Blue and Gold Banquet is also an opportunity to thank pack leaders and other adults who have helped the pack, and to inspire the leaders, Scouts, and parents.
Last night, Scouts & their families gathered in fellowship hall to eat dinner together before the celebrations began. Representatives from Simon Kenton Council came to share information on the new scouting recruitment video and details of the summer camps that they offer.
Pack 74 Cubmaster Kelly Sellers thanked Webelos II Den leaders, parents and volunteers for all their hard work and dedication to pack 74. This included Webelos II Den Leaders Jeremy Alder, Carl Aveni and Julia McCarter, as well as Assistant Cubmasters Jeff Buterbaugh and Ian McBride.
The "Crossing the Bridge" ceremony saw the eleven Webelos cross a bridge on the stage, to be met by a group of Boy Scouts, that shook their hands, gave them new neckerchiefs & Boy Scout manuals, and welcomed them into Troop 474. It was a poignant moment for all in the room.
After the formal proceedings, a ventriloquist provided very funny entertainment for all.
It was a really great night for all involved, and Pack 74 wishes the eleven Boy Scouts much success and happiness in their future Scouting adventures.
