WANTAGE — Cub Scouts in Pack 84 celebrated the 105th anniversary of Scouting at ITS annual Blue and Gold banquet on Feb. 22 and welcomed four new Boy Scouts.

Blue and Gold banquets are the highlight of the year for most packs and bring families together for an event full of fun and entertainment as well as recognizing the advancement of Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

These scouts had earned their Arrow of Light rank which is the highest rank in Cub Scouts, which prepares a Webelos Scouts to become a Boy Scout.
