Basics to Planning a Blue & Gold Banquet

Planning a Blue & Gold Banquet - in February

1. Meet with your committee at least three months before the event and monthly thereafter.

2. Discuss the theme related to the February month in your pack planning guide http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/CubScouts/Leaders/DenLeaderResources/DenandPackMeetingResourceGuide.aspx


3. Plan activities related to the monthly theme - two activities and two games are usually good.


4. Plan for any special guests or other presentations you may want to include. We've included picture presentations/powerpoints or music videos of the year of events.

5. This is also a good time to schedule a Friends of Scouting Presentation.

6. Talk to your primary liaison to discuss the main dish and potluck ideas for the families to bring.  Make sure your primary liaison is part of your committee

7. Discuss start time, table centerpieces and invitations  - Include the cub scouts in making the centerpieces and invitations - You can google ideas.


8. Also, discuss with your committee about location and costs.

9. Plan with your committee the list of who to invite - cubs and families, bishopric members, primary leaders and their families as well as anyone else you feel is needed.  This will help in planning the amount of food needed and in chair and table set up.  It will also help with game and activity planning.
