Ideas for Decoration for a Girl Scout Party

Brownie Decorations

If planning a party for Brownies, second- and third-graders, use brown balloons to decorate. Tie the balloons to the back of each girl's chair with brown satin ribbons. Purchase a brown table cloth and cutlery and sprinkle brown metallic confetti on top of the table. Order custom-baked brownies that can be made to look like a certificate of achievement for each girl. Display each brownie on a cake display plate so that each girl is recognized. Root beer floats make a great finale to your brown theme.

Daisy Theme

For Girl Scout Daisies, who are in kindergarten and first grade, adorn the party area with bold colored daisies in tiny vases. Purchase a daisy print piece of fabric from the fabric or craft store and use it as a base tablecloth. Select a table runner the same color as one of the flowers in the tablecloth. Tie three colorful satin ribbons around the vases holding the flowers, trimming the excess ribbon down to 3 inches on each vase. Use colorful party streamers to decorate the ceiling, doorways and seating. As a party favor, give each girl a pack of seeds and discuss which "seeds" or good deeds they intend to sow in the next year and how the troop can work together to accomplish this goal.

Photo Theme

Older Girl Scouts may be more social and enjoy a photo themed party. Ask parents for photos they have of the girls involved in the troop's activities throughout the year. Select the best photos and use them for party decorations. Order a table cloth from a screen-printing company that has photos of all the girls in your troop. Customize a colorful frame with her photo enclosed for each girl, using sticker letters to add her name to the bottom of the picture frame. Line the frames along the center of the table as the centerpiece. Photo confetti may be sprinkled in between the picture frames to further enhance the theme and bring back memories for the girls regarding their activities throughout the year. Photo confetti can be special-ordered from Photofetti or a local specialty printer.
