Christmas or Birthday Gift Ideas for Girl Scouts

If you have a Girl Scout in your family, you have many options for fun and practical gifts that will suit her tastes and her needs. Here are some ideas to help you find some great gifts for your Girl Scout:

1. Official Girl Scout merchandise is a good starting place when shopping for your favorite Girl Scout. You can choose the correct age group on the home page, then you will see categories of all the merchandise that is available. There is a good variety of items that Girl Scouts will love, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps, jewelry, bags, books, mugs, pens, Girl Scout knife, mess kits, and water bottles.

2. Stuffable doll kits from Noah's Ark Animal Workshop also make great gifts. Your Girl Scout can stuff her own doll right at home, or together with her friends. You can buy the doll kit and a Girl Scout uniform to dress the doll in. You can find these at Noah's Ark Animal Workshop. On the right side of the web page, click on "Shop Now." The doll kits are under the category "Stuff A Friend Products," and the Scout uniform is under "Outfits" then "Career wear / uniforms." These products are very nice, and make fun gifts for Girl Scouts.

3. Camping and outdoor equipment is very useful to a Girl Scout. Some examples of items that Girl Scouts can use are flashlights, pocket knives, multitools, binoculars, 2-way radios, canteens, water bottles, backpacks, sleeping bags, and blankets. Many of these items can be found in fun styles and colors that your Girl Scout will love.

4. Photo albums and scrapbooking materials are nice ways to help your Girl Scout keep records and memories of her scouting experience. You may also consider a camera, as well as film or photo paper for printing digital pictures.

5. A nice writing journal is another way that your Girl Scout can remember her experiences. Look for a blank journal with lined pages, and add a special pen for her to use when she updates her journal. Writing is a great way for girls that age to express their thoughts and record their memories.

6. Kits and supplies for arts and crafts make good gifts for Girl Scouts. If your Girl Scout enjoys drawing, painting, sewing, or making a particular type of craft, give her some supplies for her next project. You may also want to get a kit or instruction book for something that she has not tried before but would enjoy learning to do. Arts and crafts are great hobbies, and will help your Girl Scout develop very useful skills.

Consider what the Girl Scout in your home needs, what she enjoys, and what her tastes are when looking for a gift. It is easy to see that there are many options for gifts that will be fun, as well as help her to be a great Girl Scout.
