a question about blue and gold banquet

a reader sent in this question
0:11
I wanted to get an idea of how other Cub
0:13
Scout packs handle blue and gold Arrow
0:15
of Light crossover events
0:20
traditionally our pack has held this
0:22
entire event on one night with a dinner
0:24
cake decorated and mainly used it to
0:26
recognize our Webelos twos who are
0:28
moving on to Scouts BSA troops
0:32
I have had some parents complain
0:35
recently that because their tiger wolf
0:37
bear weeblows one fill in the blank
0:40
won't be honored that night then there
0:42
is no reason for them to attend
0:45
I wanted to know if other packs honor
0:48
the younger Scouts in some way during
0:50
the blue and gold ceremony and if so
0:52
what kind of awards are they passing out
0:57
we have also explored the idea of giving
0:59
awards to all Scouts as we typically do
1:02
at Pac meetings but I feel that some of
1:04
our leaders are purposely holding back
1:06
their Awards to be presented on the big
1:08
stage during blue and gold
1:12
I hope that makes sense I welcome all
1:20
every pack has their own Traditions I'll
1:23
just explain how our pack usually does
1:25
awards at the blue and gold banquet
1:30
for our younger Cub Scouts they are
1:32
called up by dens and are awarded any
1:34
recent recognitions they have earned
1:36
many have earned their rank badges by
1:38
this point religious emblems which have
1:41
usually just been completed in time for
1:43
scout Sunday are also recognized
1:48
the Arrow of Light ceremony usually
1:50
follows this is led by the Webelos den
1:53
leader and the cub master and varies
1:55
from year to year depending on what they
1:57
decide to do some of the ceremonies get
1:59
the younger Cub Scouts involved which is
2:02
always a bonus they can show a sort of
2:04
path indicating how far the weeblows
2:09
then our troop handles the crossover
2:11
part normally the senior patrol leader
2:14
says a few words and then the weeblows
2:17
cross from one side of the stage to the
2:18
other when they get to The Far Side
2:21
Scouts from The Troop welcome them put
2:23
their neckerchiefs and shoulder loops on
2:25
them and give them a handbook it is not
2:27
lengthy but it is youth-led
2:30
foreign following the presentations we
2:33
usually have some sort of entertainment
2:35
this is usually something like a
2:37
magician juggler somebody bringing some
2:42
there are many low-cost options once we
2:44
had the circus Club from a local high
2:46
school come in for a donation they put
2:49
on a great program which all of the Cub
2:55
viewers what do your packs do for blue
2:57
and gold banquet Awards
