Doughnut Day ~ June

In the United States and some other countries, National Doughnut Day is celebrated each year on the first Friday of June. The day has an interesting history and provides the perfect excuse to learn about doughnuts, make your own creations, and share them with friends.

Who doesn’t love a doughnut? Whether they’re baked, fried, filled with jam, or covered in colourful icing and sprinkles, doughnuts have become one of the world’s favourite sweet treats.

The Doughnut Challenge badge celebrates this fun food while encouraging creativity, teamwork, and learning. It’s a light-hearted activity that can easily be adapted for youth groups, school holiday programs, camps, or family activities.

The activities are designed to be flexible and inclusive. Participants can complete a variety of activities related to doughnuts, cooking, creativity, teamwork, and even a little history.

Badge Details

The Doughnut Challenge badge can be added to camp blankets, jackets, bags, or anywhere you collect your badges. Many youth groups enjoy working on the challenge together as part of a themed activity night, camp program, or special event.

You can download the Doughnut Challenge syllabus to guide your activities and help participants work toward earning their badge.
