Materials needed: scissors, lightweight cardboard, glitter glue, service star, glue, poem (example for Brownies below)
Construction:
1. cut out large size star (about 6 - 7 inches)
2. outline edges of star in glitter glue - I used gold as our
service stars are gold
3. Draw or use computer to make oval and print/type in fancy font
: 6 year service star (change the year as needed) at the top of
the oval
4. glue the oval in the centre of the star and pin the service
star in the bottom of the oval
5. write/type the poem in fancy font and glue to the star - you
may have to put half above the oval and half below.
Change the words to suit your branch and include a Unit theme
with a word or two.
A Brownie lends a helping hand, To others all through Brownie land, Giving service with a smile, She goes that extra mile, She never asks for payment, she does it anyway, As making people happy, is all she wants for pay.
NB you can adapt/change
the wording of the poem easily to suit your branch or unit theme.
6. Pop the star in an envelope and mail it to your Lone
