Parents need two hours. Kids need snacks, crafts, and chaos containment. Enter the Black Friday Drop and Shop Patch Program! While grownups battle the sales, Girl Scouts will enjoy a cozy, fun-filled holiday hangout full of games, crafts, movies, and movement to keep them entertained (and not climbing the walls). With festive music, winter themed activities, and a whole lot of glitter glue, this program turns Black Friday into a blast for Scouts of all ages and gives caregivers the priceless gift of child free checkout time. You bring the kids; we have got the rest.
