Last week was the Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet. Doug and I are the Cubmasters in our ward and had a fun time preparing for this event. Unfortunately, our family was hit with the stomach flu and only Doug and Kaylee ended up attending. I went over earlier in the day to help set up and decorate along with my fabulous committee.
One of the traditions that they have in this ward is that all of the fathers and sons have to bake a cake and bring it to be judged. Later the cakes are consumed for dessert. Jordan and Doug still made a cake to be judged, even though we knew that it couldn't be consumed due to flu germs.
Two of our ward members judged each cake and handed out awards. Jordan and Doug received an award for "The best looking inedible cake". There were some really awesome and creative cakes that these kids brought. Since cub scouting has been around for 100 years this February, the theme was a Happy Birthday theme.
I was sad to have planned the event and not been able to see the results. Jordan also seemed sad to have missed his last Blue and Gold Banquet before he turns 11. I have really learned to love the cub scouting program over the past few years.

I am currently serving as Primary President in our ward and I have to say....your Blue and Gold Banquet takes the cake!
The decorations were really cute. Who took the picture of Doug and Kaylee if you weren't there? Its a mystery! Good for Doug and Jordan to make the cake even though they were sick and knew no one would eat it.
