Hobbies Troop Program Feature

Here's a chance for Scouts to show off their hobbies and for those who don't have a hobby to find one. The merit badge program offers a wide variety of hobby interests, and the Scouts in your troop could have an opportunity to explore some of these programs at a hobby show or with an individual hobbyist.

Even though the feature this month deals with hobbies, the patrol leaders' council will want to plan an overnight outing for the troop. Scouts working on Tenderfoot through First Class ranks still need the opportunity to be outdoors.

Find the complete plans for the Hobbies Troop Program Feature on the BSA website.
