‘Thank You’ mementos for parents

In a few weeks, our troop will be celebrating the end of our scout year with an End Of Year Ceremony.  (No one is bridging to the next level this year so we are not having a Bridging Ceremony.)

I wanted a way for the scouts to be able to thank their parents for driving them to the meetings, extra events, cookie booths, and field trips all year long.

I took an individual picture of each scout and asked the scout to decorate a small piece of paper.  Then I snapped them into a key chain and at our ceremony, the scouts will give their parents the key chain!

We have 17 scouts in our troop so I bought a big pack of key chains from Amazon.

You can find them here. 

Smaller quantities can also be purchased.

Lots to Catch Up On…..

Admittedly, I haven’t blogged in a few months.  Fall is the busiest time for me – kids are back in school and then the holidays are here before I know it. Fall is also very busy for our troop.  As mentioned in an earlier blog, our Council holds cookie sales starting in September and ending…

Cookie Box Crafts

Our Council holds their cookie sales in the fall.  So when we’re gearing up for “back to troop” we are also gearing up for cookie sales! Last year I asked parents to save me empty cookie boxes.  (When flattened they store very easily.)  Our troop is having our first meeting back in 2 weeks and…

13th meeting -Flower Garden Journey & Mari petal: Responsible for What I Say and Do

(Our 12th meeting was to the fire station and we worked on our Respect Authority petal.  Since we were on a field trip, I did not create an agenda and so that meeting doesn’t warrant a blog post.) In my opinion, this meeting was another success and I’m realizing that as the year goes on,…
