Could there be a more fun month than National Bake and Decorate Month?

Your scouts will love having a meeting where they bake and decorate their own treats. A great activity for back to troop activities like meeting new scouts and investiture and re-dedication ceremonies.

No way to bake at your troop meeting? Focus on the decorating then. Bring in undecorated cupcakes, cookies or other backed goods the scouts can decorate themselves.

Remember the fun with this patch from MakingFriends®.com.
