How to Add More Excitement to Your Troop Meetings with a Theme

Over the years as a leader I have tried a number of different unique ways to run events and/or meetings to make it more exciting for the girls. One year I turned every meeting into a theme, sometimes just having girls dress up other times we did games and activities around that theme.

Below I will cover ways to incorporate a theme into each meeting. If your looking for other ways to change up your meetings check out these other great ideas to make your troop meetings more exciting:

• Cookie Treasure Chest
• Mini Bridging Ceremonies
• On time meeting incentives
• Scout Cash incentives

Below are a number of images with descriptions of what we did for themes at each meeting.

• One year we did every color of the rainbow and took group picture at each meeting
• One year we used rubber ducks to come up with themes and everyone that participated got a rubber duck. Browse for ducks here: rubber ducks
• One year based it on clothes girls would wear (hats, shoes, shirts backwards, etc)
