What a fun idea my Son’s Den Leader had when we were coming up with a theme for the Blue and Gold banquet!

PIRATES!  Almost every boy loves pirates, right!?

And, you can walk the plank and go on a treasure hunt for games.  Well, this is what the crew came up with:

My friend made this amazing cupcake treasure map:

The Wolf Den created all the center pieces and eye patches:

The Bear Den designed a treasure map and invitations:

(Check out the Cricut Life’s A Party Cartridge for easy invitations)

I was in charge of the table and one day got the hair-brained idea that we could actually make a pirate ship about of an 8’ folding table.  And, guess what!?  We did!  Thanks to a father (and mother) of one of the boys who created the mast and sail.

These little pirates were such great helpers (we were there 2 hours early setting up) that we didn’t even make them walk the plank:

And, of course there were awards!  Our Committee Chair always had fun ways for the boys to receive their awards.

Riley and his friend received a candy bar for always helping,Neal received 2 silver arrows and the outdoor activity patch and Bryan received the On My Honor Adult Award:

And games galore, the boys shot the “canon”, walked the plank and followed a treasure map:

It was a fabulous Blue and Gold banquet – everyone worked so hard!  These ideas are great for a birthday party, too!
