    So, I'm trying to decide on my personal skill for the bronze award, but there's a problem. We've been told that its getting stricter and family members can't sign off on your skill. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I'm interested in maybe learning cooking/baking and I don't know who could prove what I've done unless I go to classes, and I've already paid for enough stuff for ty. Could anyone advise me on what to do, what kind of activities could I do at home that someone (not family) could say I've actually done?
