Girl Scout Kaper Chart #2

During the summer, I plan my Girl Scout meetings and trips.  Last year, I made a Kaper Chart for my Daisy Girl Scout meetings which has been pinned many times on Pinterest.  Kapers are basically chores for the girls to do to help out at camp or in meetings. 

 

I don't have a picture of last year's chart, but I made it on a white board, which soon became a chore (no pun intended) to haul back and forth to meetings.

 

This year, I wanted something more portable and did my own take on a kaper chart made from a can, but instead, I used a bucket from Michael's.  I covered it in pink vinyl and sectioned it into quarters for each kaper:

 

 

 

I covered the front of a clothespin with green fun foam and used my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole at the top.  I made the flowers using my Silhouette and used a heart brad to hold the flower onto the clothespin.  This is much easier to take to meetings!

 

I keep the girls names/flowers who aren't assigned a kaper inside the bucket:

 

I hope this idea helps another leader with their kaper chart!

Daisy Girl Scout Kaper Chart

I'm getting ready for a year of Daisy Girl Scouts and wanted to make a fun Kaper Chart.  Kapers are chores that the girls do in every meeting.  After browsing through ideas on Pinterest (I could waste hours doing that), I found this picture as inspiration:

I don't know who created this chart, so I can't give them credit (if someone knows, please tell me).  My version is here:

The following items came from the Silhouette online store:

flowerpots - #42246

grass - #1075

bee - #61644

The butterfly is from A Little Hut

I made the kaper labels by using my Silhouette sketch pen, which was the first time I used it and I love them!  After writing the words "Craft", "Song", etc, I cut the ovals with the Silhouette.

I created the words "Kaper Chart" with the Curlz font and created a green shadow behind the letters.

I used fun foam to cut the flowers by hand and added a brad in the middle.  The flowers have pieces of magnet behind them so I can move them around the board.  I'm going to write each girl's name on a flower.   Actually, each item has magnets behind it so I can move everything around.  

I just learned that more girls will be joining my troop, so I'm going to have to make at least 2 more flowers.  That's a good problem to have!

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

August Silhouette challenge blog - Challenge #16

Die Cuttin Diva's - Pinterest inspired

Craft My Life - Anything goes - no cards

This was a lot of fun to make and I hope the girls will enjoy using it this year!
