There are several good reasons, I chose to do this Service Unit Project with my Cadettes.
First off, I was trying to think of a different way to celebrate Juliette Low's Birthday.
Secondly, we are working on our Silver Awards. I thought this might get the wheels turning on a project they might be interested in. This Service Project combined my passion of children and birthday parties into one.
The girls gathered Birthday Party stuff for a few weeks.
They put the stuff into a gift bag. It was everything you need to have a birthday. Streamers, foil pans, cake mix, frosting, candles, decorations, paper plates, party hats,etc. We called them Birthday-In-A-Bag's.
We then delivered them to the Ronald McDonald House.
They were given a tour and were told how the stuff they give really helps the children.
To come up with a Silver Award Project, they need to do just that.
They needed to figure out what they are passionate about...figure out a cause....and put a plan into motion.
This little trip planted a seed of ideas.
