Blue and Gold Banquet

BSA troop 324 here at Patch Barracks hosted their annual Blue and Gold banquet 25 Feb. It was my first Blue and Gold banquet, so I'm not sure what was tradition or new. One thing for sure though was that the boys ate it up!

First, Mr. Larry knighted all the squires from Daniel's bear pack. After which they boys led a procession around the "royal court" with their protected princesses. :)

The dinner that followed was a grand potluck, after which we were able to enjoy beautiful and wonderfully crafted castle cakes in the midst of midevil-themed table decorations.

The remainder of the banquet was filled with presentations, and a few other ceremonies.

One ceremony was the application of the Bear Rank war paint. Daniel was especially happy to get marked up like a little Indian!
