10 Last-Minute Girl Scout Meeting Ideas (2024)
4. Host a dance party
Indoors, outdoors, day, or night, this activity is fun, invigorating, and works every time. Pick a playlist of songs the kids know and love like Disney princess songs, kid-appropriate pop, or a mix from their favorite YouTube stars.
If you want to host a live dance party and need a bigger space, you can always book a last-minute, hourly dance party venue on Peerspace. One sweet option is this spacious, well-maintained dance studio in Etna, PA. The host even offers a dance teacher add-on service, so you and your girls can also have a proper dance lesson while cutting loose!
5. Watch an informative video to broaden their minds
Consider watching a short film about community impact. Local nonprofits will often provide videos on their websites, social media, or YouTube channels about their mission, volunteers, and what the community can do to help solve a problem. Discuss what you can do as a troop to provide support.
An example: PAWS Brownie Pets shares stories of adoptable pets and explores pet care, animal shelters, and the emotions involved in the pet adoption experience. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) features endangered species around the globe and what we can do to help save their habitats.
If you need a last-minute space to gather the scouts in a private and well-equipped space, then consider renting a movie theater room on Peerspace. For troops in San Diego, this deluxe theater room in the East Village is a wonderful option. It has plush seating for 15, a 72″ screen, and a professional projector and surround sound to help create some movie magic.
6. Invite a nurse
It’s an important life skill to learn first aid: what is needed in a proper first-aid kit, how to remain calm in an emergency, and how to apply proper first-aid practices. Most of us know someone in the medical profession, or you can even ask your kids’ school nurse for a half-hour of their time. This is one of the most practical last-minute Girl Scout meeting ideas.
7. Practice meditation
Stumped for ideas? Feeling stressed? Never fear, mindfulness is here! At the time of this writing, there’s an excellent program on Netflix from Headspace, and there are dozens of videos on YouTube that are kid-friendly for mindfulness and meditation.
Taking a few minutes to discover how to become calm and centered can be one of the most useful last-minute Girl Scout meeting ideas for kids, teens, and adults alike. This activity can be done virtually as well as indoor or outdoor. If you need a calm, quiet space, you can always book an affordable, soothing retreat space on Peerspace. One example is this creative space and wellness studio in Philadelphia, PA. It is a 700-square-foot room with an open floor plan, high ceilings, and relaxing decor that inspire a sense of serenity.
