Blue & Gold Banquet

Every February, Pack 289 gathers for the Blue & Gold Banquet—a festive celebration of Scouting’s birthday and our pack’s most anticipated milestone event. It is a night of tradition and triumph, specifically honoring our Arrow of Light (AOL) scouts during their 'bridging' ceremony as they join a local Scouts BSA troop. To honor this journey, each scout is awarded a ceremonial arrow marked with lines that represent their unique Cub Scout achievements and memories here in Prosper.

Crossover & Achievement

Celebrate the heart of Scouting as our Pack 289 community gathers for the Blue & Gold Banquet. This annual celebration marks Scouting’s birthday and serves as a grand highlight for our scouts' journey. The evening’s emotional peak is the 'bridging' ceremony, where our Arrow of Light (AOL) scouts symbolically transition from the pack to join a local Scouts BSA troop. As a lasting symbol of their dedication, each AOL scout is awarded a ceremonial arrow, painstakingly marked with lines that represent every achievement and rank earned during their years as a Cub Scout .
