Meets 7:00 PM Thursdays
Shepherdsville Community Center

Trophies were presented to the winners of the Pinewood Derby, including the cars that won "Best of Show" awards that had not been previously announced.

Then, without warning, our banquet was "boarded" by ruthless pirates who came to promote the Mohawk District's Cub Scout Day Camp in June.  They told some (really bad) pirate jokes (comedy must not be a big thing with pirates?), passed out some information to parents, then forced our Cubmaster to teach us a pirate song that everyone had to sing before they'd leave.  The whole thing was very traumatic for the adults, but the Cub Scouts seemed to enjoy it.

Lots and lots of patches and other awards are typically presented at Blue & Gold Banquets; and that was certainly the case this year.  It takes a bit of time, but every boy deserves his due recognition.

This year's banquet featured a cake auction during which cakes that had been baked and decorated by the Cubs were auctioned off to the highest bidder.  The auction was a lot of fun and benefited the pack's treasury that, in turn, benefited the scouts!

Every scout was up front when it came time to recognize the Pinewood Derby participants.
All the Pinewood "drivers" received a patch and an official Pinewood Derby Drivers License.
The winners of the race received trophies, but the driver licenses seemed to be a more popular item!		At every Pack Meeting, scouts are given an opportunity to earn a "Uniform Inspection" patch.
Then, unexpectedly, our meeting was interrupted by invading pirates who bore a striking resemblance to  Mohawk Day Camp directors Barbara Weber and Angel Mattingly.		The pirates forced Cubmaster Meek into teaching the Pack a pirate song that was sung to the tune of the Gilligan's Island TV show theme song.  Then everybody had to sing it.
The program concluded with the cake auction.  This entry was titled "Fort Webelos" and featured a frontier fort made of pretzel sticks and a trail made of graham cracker crumbs ... yummy!		This cake featured an Indian tepee, also make of pretzel sticks, a campfire, and some Indians.  Even though participation was optional, nearly every Cub Scout brought a cake.
This chocolate cake featured plastic cowboys (in Cub Scout yellow) and Indians (in Cub Scout blue), was decorated with graham cracker crumbs to look like the dusty old west, and bore the theme "Wild Wild West."  It was judged to best represent the theme of our 2009 Blue & Gold Banquet.		The ultimate "chocolate obscenity" featured a chocolate cake with embedded pieces of chocolate, chocolate frosting adorned with chocolate figures and chocolate morsels.  It was enough to make our "choc-aholic" Cubmaster drool.
