Cakes! Everybody loves them, especially when they are Scouting-themed. These Scouters shared their creations with us, and we’re showcasing them in this new feature called Scouting Show and Tell.
Going forward, we’ll be highlighting how you make Scouting shine — from imaginative Cub Scouting cakes and troop trailer designs to artistic Eagle Scout court of honor decorations. This is your chance to share your
creativity and tips to inspire and help others.
Next time, we will highlight your best Dutch oven recipes. Visit go.scoutingmagazine.org/showandtell to share photos and instructions for your best dishes. You can also email us at scoutingmag@gmail.com, or share via social media using #ScoutingShowandTell. We can’t wait to see and share your creations!
