We were asked to design, decorate and serve for the District Awards Dinner for the Boy Scouts of America. Wow! What a change from creating a beautiful elegant wedding reception.
This awards dinner is a big deal to these men and women, so I wanted it to be special. Unfortunately, even the BSA has been hit by the economy. So it was a bare-bones budget. It was held at a local curch that graciously donated space.
I did not realize how intense these meeting are. They sing songs about animals and have interesting little rituals. If you are a "fox", "beaver" or "crow" it is like sacred stuff! The evening was a huge sucess!
The theme was Woodbadge. This is a leadership course that adults take to become better guides and mentor to the boys. The theme comes with a huge log and ax. We incorporated the menus, the food serving tables and the awards table into the rustic camping idea.
Using burlap and pinecones with a little satin thrown in, the guests tables were perfect.
Throughout the evening there were many happy people. These leaders deserve to be treated like the amazing people they are. They give so much of their time and service to young men and women.
Thank you so much for letting us serve you.
