One of the other Cub dads and I put together these award plaques for 7 Webelos II for their Arrow of Light ceremony (cross over to Boy Scouts). We put it together from several ideas we found online, and were pleased when we saw it all come together.
A friend of mine has a CNC router, and did the cutting in red oak. I sealed it with polycrylic and painted the recessed areas with black acrylic paint, with a final polycrylic sealing coat. Beneath the plaque is a Navajo Indian hand crafted arrow with stone arrowhead. Beneath that, is a blue & gold cloth banner the other dad sewed and hemmed. After that, the parents had the fun task of tracking down all the patches the boys have earned over the past several years, and placed them on their banner. Interesting to see the differences of each boys' patches, especially since they have all been together for several years. My boys have been writing to a couple of Australian cub scouts as pen pals, and exchanged a few patches with them, so we have those on their banners as well.
