New Cooking Merit Badge

Ready, Set, Cook!

On January 1st 2014, the Cooking merit badge becomes Eagle required!  This means that all scouts who are not at the rank of Eagle on January 1, 2014 must now earn this merit badge.  Also, there are some requirement changes and a new merit badge book. All scouts that already earned the badge do not need to re-earn it or do any extra requirements. From now until Dec. 31, 2014, a scout may use the old or new requirements to earn the merit badge, his choice. All Scouts beginning Cooking merit badge on or after Jan. 1, 2015, must use the new requirements.
