My friend Paige asked me to post some of my Blue and Gold Banquet ideas.
The Wolf Den made paper lanterns and dragon masks. I really wish I had a picture of all of them because they looked so cool. I covered the door to the gym with red butcher paper and then drew a dragon on yellow so that each door had a yellow dragon over the red. It was cool. Then we made table lanterns out of Popsicle sticks painted blue glued to wax paper. I put a die cut of the scout symbol in the middle and if we had been allowed to, I would have put a tea candle inside. We had to use glow sticks instead which didn't show up all that great. I borrowed a Chinese robe from a friend and painted my face to look like Mulan from the Disney movie. The kids were pretty excited about that. We had TONS of awards and I was really happy that the boys have been working so hard. This month, I didn't do anything really creative with the awards because I didn't have time. Last month for the meeting all about cars I drove the awards in on a remote control car. I would have brought them in with a dragon parade but I didn't have time to make a dragon. Darn it! We had 2 Webelos scouts who earned their Arrow of Light so we had a fun ceremony involving painting their face. What boy doesn't love that?! So, there ya go. That's a quick rundown of everything I did. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for the dinner and had WAAAAAAAY too much rice leftover. We planned on 120 people but I think we had closer to 140. It was a great night!

Great job! I am so glad you are sharing your ideas with us- especially when my boys get to be in scouts. It sounds like it was a big success- no doubt with your creativity and talent! Hope all is well! Love the new pictures of the kids...
Ty will LOVE scouts Lynn. It's the best thing ever for boys I think. Nathan loves it! There are belt loops and other awards you can get for playing sports even! Cool huh?! I'm glad you like the new pictures. I think they turned out really well. We had them done at a new place called Portrait Innovations. It's in the Riverwoods in Provo.
Great ideas. So creative. You had a lot of people there too! I bet you're relieved you don't have to worry about it for another year.
Oh, and I got Natalia's two year old pics taken at Portrait Innovations. I spent way too much there but all of the pictures came out so cute and they were great with her.
Paige, we have 2 wards combined so that's why we had so many people. There aren't enough Cub Scouts in just our ward alone.
