Something Special.
16/f
I've been in girlscouts for about 10 years. I've been with the same girls in my troop for that long. We are down to about 10 of us. We are all working toward our Gold Award, which is the last award. Then, we complete girlscouts.
This summer, we are going on a cruise. I want to do something really special for all of them. Maybe buy them each a little something, or make a toast at one of the dinners on the cruise.
Its just .. these girls and i have been through soo much and I just want to show them that I appreciate all the itme we've spent together.
Ideas for something special wanted!
Thanks!

Its good to see someone going towards their Gold Award! I was in Girl Scouts for 8 years. I started when I was in 5th grade and I went all the way to the end of my Senior year & I had my ceremony in June-ish of 2006. I worked on my Gold Award from sophmore year until Senior year of high school. Its a challenging thing but it feels good to be able to say that you've earned it. And even though you haven't finished yet, I still give you major props and want to say Congratulations!
Thats awesome that you're going on a cruise, it'll be a lot of fun to go with them together (my troop went to Orlando, FL back when we were sophmores with our Cookie $$) especially since you guys have known eachother forever. You should definately do something special for them. If you have a lot of pictures from over the years I would try and either do a slide show on the computer (if you have a scanner, scan the old "pre-digital camera era" pictures) & add music to it. Make each girl a copy of the DVD. Thats an inexpensive almost no cost gift, just a tad bit time consuming if anything so if you still want to buy them a little something that would be awesome. You can even get individual pictures of each of the girls (maybe even a baby picture as well) and like introduce each girl in the very beginning and then have like a group photo introducting "Troop ###". If you're not good with the computer gather all the pictures and get copys of them and create an actual photo album for each of them. Those would be awesome. You can ask each of the girls to give you the pictures that they have as well so you can get copys of everyones.
Hope this helps. You're not spending too much money plus its one of those gifts that come from the heart :)

if you have a bunch of pictures of you and all the other girls going on other trips and other things you all have done together, make a collage of all the pictures and frame them and give each of them one. I did thi for x mas for my friends that I have known for 10 years and we are always going on trips together so we have a bunch of pictures. Here's how I did mine.
I taped 4 pieces of construction paper together and started cutting pictures so that they layed crooked and still had a straight line to fit the edge of the paper. Then I taped them all on there at different angles and slanting all over the place. Then it was too big to gt copies made at the printing shop we have in our town, so I had to take a picture of it on my camera and then they printed the picture off of my camera card and made several 8x10 pictures and it didn't cost much and you would only have to have 1 copy of all the pictures. Then I just went and got some $5-$10 frames and framed them. It looked really good when I finished. Everyone liked it cause you can look back at each picture and be like oh I remember that, thats when ...
Sorry this was so long. I tend to ramble on and on. :)

get them each a small gift
get a giftbag and put in stuff
for example you can put in friendship bracelets or something that will make you guys remember memories
or a giftcard
or if you are okay with the expense you can take them out to dinner sometime
