Community Service Project for All Levels
During my first year as a Daisy leader, my synagogue partnered with a homeless shelter to create caring boxes. My troop made boxes for young girls who were unhoused. We did this project several times over the next few years. The older your girls are, the more they can do on their own.

Make Your Own Mug
This is a fun craft activity that the girls can use for themselves or give as a gift. Add a packet of hot chocolate and some small candies and place in a small cellophane bag. Tie with a ribbon.
This set comes with twelve mugs. If you need more, why not team up with another troop and split the cost.
