If you are a leader who likes to give her troop gifts, here is an easy last minute Girl Scout gift you can put together in no time at all.
Many leaders like to give their girls a holiday gift. If you are one of them, then you are going to want to find a gift that both your co-leader and you can agree on giving. This money is coming out of your pocket and not the troop funds, so agreeing on an item and a price point is very important.
What Kinds of Gifts to Give Your Girl Scouts
In my opinion, anything related to the holiday season needs to be avoided. All of the girls in your troop may not celebrate Christmas, so giving each child a handmade ornament is not ideal.
Gifts that are something the girls can use to keep them busy or something they can use over and over again are ideal.
I have curated this simple and easy last minute Girl Scout gift. Simply order online and have it delivered to your home. You can put this gift together alone at night while watching a show or listening to a podcast, or get together with your co-leader and make them. I am all about making things simple!
