Leaders, I know that you are incredibly busy this time of year. With the holiday season upon us and all of the traditions we want to continue, the parties we have to attend, the presents we have to shop for and wrap, and trying to keep it all together with our volunteer activities can be very overwhelming!
I have an easy meeting idea that is both festive and fun for your troop and easy for you to prep for-even last minute. You may wish to have an additional parent or two helping you oversee the two stations if you have younger scouts.
Materials
Sugar cookies (store bought)
Sprinkles and colored sugar
Confectioners sugar
Water
Cake decorating brushes
Parchment paper, wax paper, or paper plates
White lunch bags
Curling ribbon
Plastic wrap or baggies
Hole puncher
Stickers
Gift tags (the girls can make these out of pre-cut paper or use the labels you have at home)
The girls can work in stations. One set of girls gets to decorate the cookies, places them on parchment paper or a paper plate that has her name on it in the corner.
The other set of girls is working on decorating the white bag with markers and stickers. They can even decorate a gift tag and make a card if you find you meed more for them to do.
Switch stations.
One volunteer can wrap the cookies in plastic wrap or place in a baggie, put in the gift bag, punch a hole in the top and tie it with a ribbon. Don’t forget to hole punch the gift tag and place it on the ribbon as well.
The girls can go home with a treat for the family that they made themselves!
Optional Items to Add to the Bag
Tea bags
Instant coffee packets
Hot chocolate mix
Peppermint candy
Chocolate Kisses
