This year our Blue and Gold banquet will be something very special. This year is the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts in America! In 1910 Boy Scouts was chartered in the United States by William D. Boyce. 1910 was an exciting year for Boy Scouts and aviation. Just a few years before the first powered flight took place at Kitty Hawk and in 1910 the first use of an airplane for to move commerical goods from city to city. Theodore Roosevelt was the first President to ride in an airplane.
So we thought it fitting to hold our Blue and Gold banquet at the Quad City Airport this year! Our “fly into scouting!” event will be a fun night for everyone!
There will be a guided tour of the airport begining at 5:00pm. We will gather at TERMINAL #1 ( far right handside/extreme west end of the terminal ) at 5:00pm for a guided tour.
At 6:00pm we will gather for games and airplane snack foods. ( chips, drinks and pretzels ). Scouts and their families are asked to bring a ‘sweat treat’ to share at this event.
Our program will begin at 6:30pm and we should be done at/our around 8:00pm.
Our program will include skits, songs, advancements, recognition, Friends of Scouting speaker and a guest speaker!
This will be a fun night for everyone, all family members are invited to join us in this celebration of scouting!
We will need your support as always parents. Please be on the lookout for a sign-up list for help in set-up/decorations, food and clean-up.
