Blue and Gold

Last Sunday was also the Blue and Gold Ceremony for Boy Scouts, which may or may not signal the end of scouting for the year.  Actually, I have no idea what it was for.  I *think* the boy scouts moved up to the next level, but I'm really unsure if they "completed" their Tiger Cubs, "started" their Wolf Cubs, if they are still Tiger cubs now working on their Wolf stuff.  I do know this - they all got new neckerchiefs.
This is Jacob's den.  Shirts were required to be tucked in (except, I guess, if you're scout leader).  Pants with buttons, belts, tucking.... Jacob's Worst Pants Nightmares.  He did fine, though.  There was very little attrition as the scouts moved up (which surprised me), and the biggest group was the one going from Cub to Boy Scouts.  That was a weird part of the ceremony.  I guess I'm just not that into the pageantry of scouting.  I think the activities are nice, the outdoorsy, be-a-kind person stuff.  Anyway, here's the whole pack:
