An investment in Friends of Scouting is an investment in Scouting’s mission and values. Through Scouting programs we are able to prepare today’s youth for tomorrow’s challenges by instilling them with character, confidence, leadership, integrity, and the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

Are your Scouts planning on participating in one of our Council-wide Pinewood Derby events in March? Please do not wait to register! Starting this year, Pinewood Derby will require pre-registration to run a good event for the Scouts. Registration is open until one week before the event. At that point in time, you can still register in those two weeks or day-of, but you are not guaranteed the opportunity to race if there are too many racers.

• Wausau Pinewood Derby Race is on March 2 — Guaranteed Slot to Race: Must be registered by February 24, 2019.
• Marshfield Pinewood Derby Race is on March 9 — Guaranteed Slot to Race: Must be Registered by March 3, 2019.

The Blue and Gold Banquet is a highlight of the year bringing together pack families for a dinner and fun celebrating the "Birthday of Cub Scouting." It's called "Blue and Gold" because those are the Cub Scout colors. Blue represents truth and loyalty, and gold represents good cheer, happiness, and helping others. The purpose of the Banquet is to mark the organization of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910 (Cub Scouts were founded in 1930).

Along with dinner, provide entertainment – skits and songs by the boys, or bring in entertainment. Include the Cub Scouts in preparation, decorations, and the program. However your pack celebrates Scouting's birthday, it will take planning and everyone's help.

Visit the Scout Shop for this limited edition Blue & Gold Samoset Council patch ($2.49) as well as everything else you will need for a Blue and Gold celebration! For supply questions, please call (715) 355-9680.
