The Blue and Gold Banquet is a family affair providing the entire pack an opportunity to come together and celebrate. For packs all over America the Blue and Gold Banquet is one of many highlights of the scouting year. The event is often thought of as a birthday party for the Cub Scouts. One that is celebrated on or around the anniversary month of the Boy Scouts of America which was organized in February of 1910; with the Cub Scouts being organized 20 years later in 1930.

The primary purpose of the Pack 773 Blue and Gold Banquet is to celebrate the crossover of our Webelos Scouts to a Bo Scout Troop.  We also acknowledge the packs leaders and any other adults who have been instrumental in the Webelos Scouts' success.

The actual dinner typically takes place in the school cafeteria or gym.  The meal is catered if funds permit.  But, at the end of the day it is not the activity of eating that's of importance, it's the celebration of the scouting that has taken place leading up to the event and for that which will follow the event. It's about bringing scouts and their families together in a friendly environment where they can all share a night of fun - not to mention the opportunity to be recognized for scouting advancement and its related awards.
