Leader Thank You Gift with Candy  
  Here's what the girls in my cadette troop came up with to do for the other leaders. I brought in a bunch of candy bars (some miniature size) and they came up with the following story. We made one for each leader. There are 3 of them. Then we taped the candy bars to a piece of poster board (then taped it all to a piece of cardboard to make it sturdier). The words were typed out and glued on. The candy bars were used in place of the words that I wrote in cap letters. We used little black pieces of tape to cover up parts of the words on the candy bars that we did not want to show. Of course, feel free to use any candy bars you like.

Dear (name),

LOOK how KOOL (cover up the word Aid) you've made us. We can't PAY (cover up Day) you a 100 GRAND or send you down 5TH AVENUE but we can always make you feel GOOD(cover up plenty).

We know we've gone PSYCHO (cover up pop) every NOW AND LATER and even fallen to PIECES (cover Reeses) and landed on our WHATCHAMACALLITS. But LOOK how far we've come on this ROCKY ROAD of FUN(cover dip) Girl Scouting. We were on a ROLL (cover Tootsie) with our Silver Projects.

Sometimes our singing didn't sound like a SYMPHONY and MOUNDS of times we've fallen on our BUNS (a gummy hamburger), but S'MORE times than not, we've had a SHOCKING (cover tarts) good time. Even though we are teens, we appreciate you not turning us into DORKS and AIRHEADS. We are NERDY enough without any extra CRUNCH (cover Nestles).

Love always,

the RUNTS

PS SHE (cover HER and Y in the Hershey bar) is the best FIREBALL (cover atomic) of a leader!
