TH ANNIVERSARY
(^s> While the Blue and Gold party is the tradi-
tional Cub Scouting activity for the month
of February, this year's affair should be bigger and
better because it celebrates the Fortieth Anniver-
sary of our Movement. The birthday atmosphere
should be the feature of the evening.
Blue and Gold Party
Every Pack must determine the best method of
handling their Blue and Gold celebration. Most
Packs have a dinner or potluck supper type of
affair. Whether you serve the meal, or everyone
brings their own, will be determined by the amount
you want to pay. You will find some valuable
suggestions on potluck suppers on pages 9 and 12
of January, 1949, Scouting.
The Birthday Cake
Let's have a huge "birthday cake" to celebrate
the birthday of the Boy Scouts of America.
Perhaps the most interesting way to handle this
project will be to have each Den make a layer or
portion of a layer of the cake. Layers can be made
of a wooden framework covered with paper or with
large cardboard cartons fitted together to form a
large square layer cake. The framework or cartons
should be covered with white crepe paper. Deter-
mine at your monthly Pack leaders' meeting the
size of the layers and the method of decoration to
be used so that it will all fit together well at the
Pack meeting. See page 13 for the way in which to
work the cake into your Pack meeting program.
Table Decorations, etc.
own table in the most original manner possible.
Each table should have a Cub Scout-made center-
piece, place cards, and other trimmings. These
items should be made by the Cub Scouts in their
Den meetings.
The Crusade Award
If your Pack has reached its Crusade objectives,
make sure to apply early in January for your
Crusade Award, so that a representative of your
Council can make the presentation at your Blue
and Gold party.
Uniform Inspection
Be sure to include the Semi-annual National
Uniform Inspection. It can be handled quickly and
should be carried out in every Pack in America.
Victory Torch Ceremony
We are now in the second year of our Crusade,
and it will help you to reach your 1950 objectives
if you can keep your boys and leaders mindful that
this is the biggest year of the Crusade.
BIRTHDAY CAKE:
Made of boxes fas-
tened together with
spread pins (paper
fasteners), and cov-
ered with crepe pa-
per. Decorate with
crimped crepe pa-
per and wood can-
dles.
