My eldest son had his final Blue and Gold dinner with his Cub Scout pack. The dinner is a celebration of the founding of Cub Scouts and is when the Arrows of Light transition from the Cub Scout pack to a Scouts BSA troop. The theme for the dinner was Marvel Superheroes, so the tables had some activities to keep us busy during slow moments of the evening.
One of the fundraisers at the Blue and Gold Dinner is the Father/Son cake sale. Cakes are sold via silent auction to raise money for the pack and the local Scouts district. We worked the day before on the cake. By "we" I mean the whole family!
We watched a YouTube video where a pro baker made a Spider-Man cake. We did our best, as is the Cub Scout motto.
At the dinner, the boys received their final awards before getting the Arrow of Light.
We went up on stage for the bridging ceremony. The boys cross a ceremonial bridge and are welcomed by their new troop.
Part of the ceremony is changing the shoulder loops from blue to green and getting a new neckerchief. Parents take off the loops, the kerchief, and hat (when applicable). The boy crosses the bridge. The new troop puts on the new loops and new neckerchief (we may buy a new hat, we haven't decided yet).
We had a great time and were very proud of our son.
