Cooking Merit Badge

We are currently working on the Cooking Merit Badge in the troop.  This merit badge is fairly involved and will require work at home and on camp outs.  The learning portion of the merit badge that we are going over in troop meetings can be reviewed here:

Cooking Merit Badge Powerpoint

The boys were given a planning packet to help them record their notes and plan their meals.  If they lose it, a replacement can be downloaded here:

The boys will need to plan many meals and cook some of them at home, then report back.  This coming week we will price out the menus that they planned.

Meals should be planned following the nutritional principles found on this website that teaches about good food choices:
