We attended the Boy Scout Blue and Gold Banquet last night. It's sort of like the Oscars with a more homogeneous dress code.

There was a decorated cake, silent auction.

And all the boys got to move up a level. Our boys are part of den 2 (the fight'in 2nd!) and they moved from Tiger to Wolf status. If I'd know that it was that easy to turn a cat to a dog there would be a lot fewer cats in the world...but I digress.

All the boys got to go up on stage and receive their graduation patch.

Ed was sworn in as the new pack leader. I'm told that the first hundred days of his administration will be the most trying.

I stumbled across this page looking for Blue & Gold decorations... what a beautifully laid out page, and a terrific honor to your boys, and your Pack! The photographs are also beautiful, and priceless!! Don't know how recent this is, but congrats to your enthusiasm to Scouting.... - a Fellow Scouting Mom, S. Huntington, NY
