A s’more is a tasty combination of graham crackers, milk chocolate, and melted marshmallow. S’mores are a popular treat at Cub Scout campouts.
Basically, you just melt a marshmallow, then put it between two graham crackers with part of a milk chocolate bar.

The August 2008 Cub Scout Monthly Theme is “S’More Summer Fun.”
Here is the official BSA theme description:
“Summer memories can last a lifetime and memories made with your Cub Scout den or pack can be some of the best. So let’s make “S’More” Cub Scout memories this month.
Since “outing” is part of Cub Scouting, let’s get outside and have some fun. Be it having a picnic, water party, softball game or campout; there is no limit to the amount of fun to be had by all this month.
Why not have a pack family campout following the guidelines your leaders learned in BALOO training? What could be better than an outdoor pack meeting complete with a campfire? Whether you make a real or synthetic fire, the fun is 100% genuine.
This would be a good opportunity to work on the Softball belt loop and pin or the Weather belt loop and pin.”

Here is the August 2008 “S’More Summer Fun” monthly theme patch. It is $1.19 from BSA National.
