The Cub Scout program in America was founded in 1930 and it’s anniversary is honored each year (usually in February) with the Blue and Gold celebration deriving it’s name from the Cub Scout colors. The Blue and Gold Banquet is a celebration for Scouts to attend and have dinner with their parents and family. Pack 150 provides the main course (usually chicken, rolls, beverages, napkins and utensils. Each family is asked to bring a side dish for 7-10 people to share. Due to the size of our Pack and seating limitations, parents are encouraged not to bring siblings.

The Banquet, which starts at 6:30, takes the place of the Pack meeting of the month in which the Blue & Gold dinner is held.

Chair of event should contact Sandi Lombardino in the parish office with the number of tables, chairs and the location for set-up one week prior to the event. The Chair should also make arrangements with Sandi to pick up a key to Seton Hall to be used during the event.

This is the main event for Rank advancement and the culmination of the scout year. All scouts should strive to have achieved their next rank by the Blue and Gold banquet. Den Leaders should contact the awards chair in advance of the Banquet in order for each to be recognized and given the correct awards.

The Webelos 2s will have already "crossed over" to Boy Scouts in the Arrow of Light ceremony. This is held the month before Blue & Gold. The Webelos 2s are invited to Blue & Gold as a courtesy. They are welcome to come but their attendance is not mandatory.  

(The tablecloths will be cleaned by the Blue and Gold committee and then saved to be re-used next year. Tables should not be put away!)

(The following wasn't done since 2007 and may not be again): April Den Leaders work with the Scouts to create centerpieces and place mats for the scout and his parents. (Use Tax Exemption form to purchase supplies. Call Treasurer for copy of form.) The leaders bring centerpieces and placemats to Seton Hall on the day of the Banquet anytime between 2:30 and 5:30.
