Pee Wee Scouts: Cookies and Crutches

Molly Duff watches the clock on the classroom wall–tick, tick, tick. Nearly three o’clock. Time for Pee Wee Scouts! Troop 23 runs out of the classroom and down the stairs–clop, clop, clop.

Tuesday is their meeting day. Molly can’t wait. Today Mrs. Peters, their troop leader, will show them how to bake cookies to earn a cookie badage. And next week is the big Skating Party!

But Molly has never baked or skated before. A cookie badge or a skating badge. Will Molly earn a badge at all?
