At this time I believe we will be having it in our church parking lot. Not as good as an out in the woods campfire but I believe if we have it elsewhere it will hurt our attendance. So you don't think serving food would be tacky? Do you think it would be ok to have a couple of stations for the cubs that are visiting? Like with a craft or something like that?

I am getting ready to hold flag retirement ceremonies with our Troop, the first I have personally planned, and I am planning on inviting some area cub scout packs as well as members of our church. Here is what I'm trying to figure out... The ceremonies themselves shouldn't take all that long. I would like to be able to add something more to do for those in attendance to make it worth their time to attend and to make it more memorable. But I'm not sure of what other activities I can add... since it is a solemn occassion and I do not want to be disrespectful. I do not want to make the ceremonies longer... but would like to have additional hands-on activities of some kind... especially for the cubs. Any ideas?
