    Dietary Restrictions

    The Greater Tampa Bay Area Council recognizes that there are many potential dietary restrictions as well as common diets (e.g., low-calorie and low-carbohydrate) and common food allergies (e.g., to gluten, citrus fruit, dairy, eggs, fish, nuts/ peanuts, and shellfish). Individuals will need to consider this and avoid such items in their choices in the dining hall.  In addition, remember that the Food Team cannot feasibly plan for all specific dietary needs of all persons attending the event. Therefore, all special dietary needs must be indicated at the time of registration.  Depending upon the special food requirements they may be asked to make their own arrangements to meet those needs by bringing their own food — just as they would bring their own medications.  Any dietary requests made within 2 weeks of the event will not be able to be honored.

    BLUE AND GOLD CEREMONY AND POTLUCK DINNER

    Class A Dress Required Award Scouts Belt Loops (or Pins) for activities and Badge of Rank!

    Blue and Gold Banquets are a tradition in Cub Scout packs. They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of Scouting America on February 8, 1910. Often, badges of rank are awarded. The Arrow of Light (AOL) ceremony may even be included as the 5th graders cross over to a troop.

    In the Blue and Gold ceremony, blue represents truth, spirituality, steadfast loyalty, and the sky above. In contrast, gold represents sunlight, good cheer, and happiness.
