As of January 1, 2014 the Cooking Merit Badge became a mandatory Eagle Merit Badge.

On Monday, January 13, the scouts of Troop 103 and our guest, scouts of 147, had the privilege to be taught the badge by a professional nutritionist. Mary Urtecho-Garcia, the Nutrition and Physical Activity Project Coordinator of Pasadena Public Health Department, began with

a lesson on various harmful infections that can come with food preparation. Through an interactive presentation with questions, the scouts began learning about how to ensure safe food conditions. Mrs. Urtecho-Garcia is scheduled to teach on January 27th and February 24th. Our scouts will do hands-on cooking for requirements 4 & 6, March 3rd and 10th during our regular troop meeting.
