Halloween is around the corner. Here are 5 Easy Virtual Girl Scout Halloween meeting ideas that are easy to plan with these games and craft kits.
With hot spots sprouting all over the country and many Councils deciding to only having virtual meetings, planning is made more challenging for leaders. As a teacher who has part of her class virtual, I know those challenges personally. I have to prepare my lessons an entirely new way, one that involves my students in class and those that are at home.
Because there are no craft kits for the things I teach in Hebrew School, I have to make them myself at home (no more creating in class with my teen helpers, as there is to be social distancing and no sharing of materials). Fortunately, Girl Scout leaders have many Halloween craft kits at their disposal.
How to Have a Virtual Girl Scout Halloween Meeting
This is going to have to be a hands on meeting. Here are some things you can do with your girls. Of course, you can choose any one or more of these activities. It needs planning and shopping in advance and having your girls pick up the materials at your home. If you have the time, you can deliver these to your troop members as wells.
Paint Pumpkins for a Virtual Girl Scout Meeting
Pumpkin painting is a time honored Halloween tradition. You can give each girl two or three colors of paint to use. Below you will find Glow in the Dark paint, which is totally awesome for Halloween! Don’t forget the paintbrushes!

Decorate Halloween Cupcakes
For those of you who like to bake, you can whip up some cupcakes and leave them plain. For those of you who are not bakers or are too busy, go to your local supermarket and ask for unfrosted cupcakes to be made for your troop. Many stores are happy to do this for you.
The supermarket has tubs of white icing that you can give to each girl (store brands are fine and you can split it into two and put them in baggies.) Using snack sized bags, give each girl Halloween themed decorations.
