Materials:
Place a band-aid,
match, birthday candle, rubber band, paper clip, hard candy, and button in
baggie or small jewelery box (cardboard). Tie ribbon bows around top and
attach the following poem to ribbon.
"It's that time again to pause and reflect
And look at the year
in retrospect.
A problem or two arose here and there
Not one
went unconquered because you care.
You gave your best to the world of
Girl Scouts,
Our "promise" upheld without any doubts.
But maybe,
just maybe, you grew rather weary.
And wondered if you could remain
bright and cheery.
If so... open this packet, it's a small
compensation
For damages done, use without reservation.
The
bandaid you use to heal the small hurt
If someone to you got a little
bit curt.
The match you then strike up, this friendship renew,
Touch
the match to the candle, let more light shine through.
And why the
rubber band, you're ready to ask,
Flexibility and giving it means, for
each task.
Next, a small paper clip is in this bag (box),
too.
"Together" it keeps it all for you.
The candy... you guessed
it...is to sweeten your day
"Cause we know you'll keep sharing your
love through May"
Whether leader, team member or one who
consults,
You are ever concerned to get best results.
With thanks,
many thanks, (unit name) bursts with pride,
The button we popped is
contained inside.
Now keep or use this survival kit, small,
And we
hope to see you back in the fall!
THANK YOU FOR BEING A
LEADER!!"
