Blue and Gold Banquet

"The Year of the Dragon"
Our whole family had a great time at Clayton's first Blue and Gold Banquet as a Cub Scout! The theme for the night was to celebrate "The year of the Dragon". The whole room had Chinese decorations everywhere, chopsticks and fortune cookies to go with dinner, and activities like origami, a dragon pinata, and a craft table to make a Chinese poster. Everyone enjoyed the menu of Sweet and Sour Chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and egg drop soup. The dessert for the night was made by the cub scouts and their families. Each one was challenged to make a cake to go along with the nights theme. Clay was set in his mind to make a dragon cake so that's what we tried to achieve. I positioned the cake pieces and Clay helped to apply the icing. He had alot of fun decorating his dragon and putting the wings and gold coins in place. Everyone loved it for the night. Other cakes were: a fortune cookie cake, Chinese checkers board cake, yin and yang made with red velvet, and decorated sheet cakes! So fun to see all the different varieties!
Clayton was the newest member of Pack #274 and was asked to make a poster about himself. Things he put on it were:
