deserve. If the Webelos Scout crossover
is a standalone event, for example, you
might invite the dance team from
your Order of the Arrow lodge to
participate. And by holding off on
activities such as leader recognition,
you avoid sending the message that
the Cub Scout year is ending.
Emphasize Efficiency
For step three, make sure you don't
waste time during the banquet. That
process starts at the beginning: "If
you say you're going to start at 6:30,
start at 6:30. That really does help
us keep it on schedule," Gaidos says.
Encourage families to arrive early. Her
pack begins a slideshow of the year's
highlights about 15 minutes before
the start time. Since everyone wants to
see the photos, they're usually in their
seats when the banquet begins.
Efficiency continues when the
meal is served. By having multiple
serving lines and setting up separate
drink and dessert stations, Hebenthal's
pack seats people more quickly. You
can also use eating time strategically.
One pack in her district, recognizing
that boys scarf down their food and
then get antsy, schedules den skits
during dinner. Other packs use the last
part of dinner for leader recognition.
Both Hebenthal and Gaidos rec-
ommend keeping announcements
to a minimum, referring families to
newsletters and Web sites instead.
"Announcements just take too long,
and boys don't care," Gaidos says.
What they do care about is having
a good time. By keeping your banquet
simple, making it fun, and watching
the clock, you can ensure that your
banquet is remembered for something
besides its record-breaking length. *
