Cub Scout Pack 30 held their annual Blue and Gold Banquet Saturday evening, February 17 at the Wirt County Middle School cafeteria.

Several Scouts and their parents, families, and friends attended the event which centered around the theme of "Passports to Other Lands".

In preparation for their program, each age group - Tiger Cubs, Wolf Cubs, Bear Cubs, and the Webelos - selected a foreign country to learn about.

After a fine covered dish dinner, several merit badges and service pins were presented to Scouts and Scout Leaders alike.
