There is a competition element to the bake-off. Everyone is welcome to bring in a baked good but only homemade scout-created submissions will be judged. Please enter your Scout's submission for one (1) of the submission categories in advance of the event. Please see the specific rules and judging/submission categories below.
Please be sure that all submissions are BITE SIZED portions, as this event involves a sampling of all the submissions. Submissions that are larger may need photographing so that we can show it before its lovingly destroyed (i.e. portioned into bite-sized pieces).
Participation: Scouts need to be heavily involved in the creation of the bake-off goodies; parents/guardians are assistants. This is not a solo parent/guardian project.
Ingredients: The following ingredients cannot be included or used at all: no nuts whatsoever, this includes nuts, nut flours, nut extracts or flavoring, coconuts, etc.
Baking Required: There must be a baked component in all submissions, and all items need to be homemade.
Ineligible Items: No store bought items can be entered into the bake-off. Pre-baked/purchased goodies cannot be used as ingredients or as the basis of your entry.
Be a Good Sport: No foul play. This is a good, clean, fun, and friendly competition.
Entries into the holiday bake-off will be submitted for judging. Scouts who enter items that meet the Bake-Off Rules will be eligible to be judged for possible awards.
The award categories are:
Best Scout themed (voted on by scouts)
Best Holiday themed (voted on by scouts)
Most Creative (voted on by scouts)
Keep these categories in mind when planning and executing your holiday bake-off goodies!
