The Blue and Gold banquet is the most exciting event on the Cub Scout calendar. It is the birthday celebration of Cub Scouting. Every family in the Pack can take part in its planning and execution. The banquet is held in February, as this is the anniversary month of the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America began in 1910 and Cub Scouting began twenty years later. The BLUE AND GOLD gets its name from the Cub Scout colors -- blue and gold. Some Packs make the banquet a potluck dinner affair, having each family bringing a covered dish. Other Packs prefer buying the food, having it prepared by a parent’s committee and pro-rating the cost among those attending the banquet. 

Some Packs have a formal dinner while some packs just do a cake and ice cream celebration. Every Pack is different in numbers of people and budget, so the final decisions and details will have to be decided within your Pack, with the banquet committee working closely with the Pack committee
