Sunday, February 26 was Alex's Blue and Gold Ceremony for Cub Scouts. This is a banquet held annually to celebrate the birthday of Scouting. Prior to finding out about relocation, I had agreed to co-chair this event. For our pack, there were about 200 people in attendance at this catered dinner. The theme this year was "Knights of the Round Table," complete with swords, shields, a suit of armor, torches, a hand-painted castle backdrop, etc. We have several incredibly talented, creative Moms and Dads in our pack who really came through with beautiful crafts!
All of the boys receive their rank advancement awards so Alex became a full-blown Tiger as opposed to the Bobcat he was before. They also receive many of the other badges and belt loops that they've earned during the school year. The oldest Cub Scouts cross over into Boy Scouts during this ceremony as well. It runs about 3 hours...yikes! Abby was happy to play with Vanessa during this time and we are thankful that Sherri was able to babysit.
The event turned out beautifully and we are all excited to be going on vacation later this week :)
