Giving girls jobs keep them actively involved with every troop meeting. Here is the easiest Girl Scout Kaper chart that leaders will use for years!

Over the years, I have written extensively about Girl Scout Kaper charts (you can check out those posts here).
Recently, a leader in a Girl Scout Facebook group recently shared her version of a kaper chart, and it is mic drop genius!
I remember schlepping my large poster board kaper chart in from Daisies until 5th grade Juniors. In bad weather, I had to put it in a black garbage bag so it would not get ruined. It was one more large thing to juggle, along with my leader bag and bags of craft, cooking, or other materials for the meeting. Since we met after school, my daughter could not help me and my co-leader was coming straight from work.
This Girl Scout Kaper chart is not a chart, is easy to carry into each meeting, and is a low out of pocket (and reimbursable) expense.
Girl Scout Kaper Chart (that is not a chart)
These are wrist keychain key tags with a stretchy coil and they come in 10 assorted colors. Write the kaper on each tag and that scout wears that tag during the meeting.

One way to keep it "fair" with assigning jobs (you know how young children stand on that hill), put the wristlets into a gift bag or lunch bag. As part of you opening, have each girl turn her head and reach into the bag. That is her kaper for that meeting.
If you want, on a simple chart, your co-leader can keep track of who does each job at the meeting.
