Merit Badge Outline For
| Introduction | Your challenge as a summer camp merit badge counselor is to see that the Scouts who attend your session have the best opportunity to learn about cooking. It is important that they have a positive experience. This lesson plan is designed to help you plan a logical, high-quality program. You may have to use a slightly different approach in presenting the material based on your camp resources and facilities. |
| Resources | Several requirements of this merit badge can not be completed at camp. These are based on taking several overnighters of varying lengths. In order to complete these overnighters, the remaining requirements should be done. Therefore, the requirements for this merit badge that are completed at camp will provide only a partial completion of the Cooking merit badge. Troops need to be notified about this before attending summer camp. |
