Blue and Gold
Bake a simple sponge cake and decorate it with blue and gold icing to match the main colors of scouts. Other scouting themes can be incorporated too, such as the annual scout racing event, the Pinewood Derby. Use a car-shaped cake pan or draw a race car with icing pens in the center of the sponge cake.
Cupcakes
Cupcakes can be all different flavors and colors; blue and gold in keeping with the banquet or greens and browns that tie in with the camping and outdoor activities the Boy Scout program involves. Finish the cakes off with toppers modeled after the Scout emblem, the Fleur-de-Lis. The symbol has points that represent the scout's duty to God, obedience to Scout law, and service to others. An image of it can be found at the official Boy Scouts website.
Eagle Scout Cake
Eagle Scout, the highest rank in Boy Scouting, could be represented by an eagle cake. Bake two cakes in 2-qt Pyrex bowls. Stack them on top of each other and secure them with bamboo skewers. For the top, stack two large muffins or cupcakes together. Carve out the shape of the eagle's head from these pieces, then secure them together with skewers. Use wafers or fondant for the feet and beak. Cover the body of the cake with brown and white icing, and dust the feathers with coconut.
Camping-Themed Cake
Bake a rectangular cake, and cover it with dark green icing to represent grass. Stroke the icing with a fork to give it a grassy texture. Use chocolate pop tarts, pretzel sticks and brown frosting to build "tents" on the top. Create a campfire with chocolate rocks, pretzel sticks and orange or red frosting, or add a lake with blue icing.
