Cub Scouts,

 

Attached as a PDF file is your invitation to the Blue and Gold Banquet.  If you have trouble opening the file it is also on our www.Pack8.com web site.

 

Barbara Kraj and her committee have planned a Middle Ages Feast for our Blue and Gold Banquet.  The committee members will be contacting each of you, who plan to attend, to coordinate the food.  Each family will be asked to bring a dish or some part of the meal.

 

Each of the Cub Scouts will receive a (wooden) sword and shield.  Some of the dens are decorating them as a den activity and some of you will want to work on them at home.

 

Many people have asked about the costumes.  I would recommend you do as little or as much as you would like.  Here are several sites that may give you ideas:

 

This site sells costumes – but has great pictures that you may be able to duplicate:  http://www.reliks.com/merchant.ihtml?id=81&step=2

This site has basic directions for making your own costume:  http://www.virtue.to/articles/in_depth_garb.html

This site has easy to copy ideas http://www.oddbodkin.com/  or on ebay  http://stores.ebay.com/Odd-Bodkin-Renaissance-Shop

Here is the group helping us to have our feast  http://www.bordervalekeep.com/   them have lots of pictures in costumes.

 

 

We do need a head count in order to plan the proper amount of food.  You can respond by email.
