LISBON FALLS — Cub Scout Pack 109 of Lisbon conducted its Blue and Gold Banquet on March 2 at the Lisbon Falls Baptist Church.
The Blue and Gold Banquet is the pack’s end-of-year behemoth that sees Scouts receiving their ranks. Tigers, Wolves, Bears, and Webelos all take one step up the ladder at this annual event. Given its importance, the banquet hall is decorated by leaders to depict an annual theme, like this year’s “magic.” Shields, brick walls, magic wands, and wizard hats were on every table and at every entrance.
Each den leader constructed a power point show to let others see what the dens did during the year and give the scouts a look at what they could be doing next year at the same time.
Likewise, it is the last of such events for the pack’s oldest Cubs, transitioning out of Cub Scouts and into Scout Troop 109. This makes the event a bittersweet get-together, knowing that the older Scouts, who had already spent five years in the pack, would be moving onward.
That said, those Scouts are not disappearing. They are merely moving into a troop that consists of even older Scouts and more challenging tasks. In fact, part of finishing their last year of Cub Scouting as members of the Arrow of Light den involves their selecting a name and creating a new patrol in which they will become upon their entry to the troop: Ice Wolves.
The Ice Wolves, former Cub Scouts, will begin their journey after their official cross over on April 11.
