DD is leaving Girl Scouts after 6 years. I was planning to get a card and some target gift cards. How much would you do for each gift card? Any other ideas for a Girl Scout leader gifts? Does it matter that I am not on the ball, and am leaving this kind of late?
Last year I collected money from the entire GS group and did restaurant and Target GC and someone made a framed tree with all the Girl's names. But that leader was leaving after 5 years. These gifts are for the remaining 2 leaders who have done 6 years total each.
I can't collect from everybody this year because some are continuing on and some are not, so these gifts will just be from me and not the entire troop.
I am a Girl Scout leader! Only one girl has usually gotten me and my coleader gifts. She gives us each a $15 gift card to a local coffee shop, and I actually think it’s really cute and is appreciated. So I don’t know what the culture is with your troop/your area, but I think any little thing would be nice. I actually think it’s cool that she does a local place, because it’s a little different from the usual target or Amazon.

That’s a great idea. There is a new non chain coffee shop downtown that I could support. I do still want to do something like Target also because they can replace things the girls broke or buy supplies. I only say that because last year the leader was telling me about something that got broken and I was like hold on I have something for that and whipped out her card/ gift.
The one mom who usually organizes for my little troop tends to buy us gift cards for local, female owned businesses. If your kid wanted to write a thank you note that might be nice.

It appears that the person who owns the local downtown coffee place is a woman. Thanks!
