"Cub Scout are one in a Minion" PRINTABLE craft for Twinkies from Despicable Me - Great Table Decoration for the Blue & Gold Banquet

I got a little excited about Minions this year for the Blue & Gold. I took ideas I was finding on Pinterest, and decided that I had to make Cub Scout Minions. My 11 year old daughter, Sarah made them all for me. She did all the cutting, drawing, and taping so your boys should be fine to do their own if you do it for Cub Scouts. The Cub Scouts were SO excited when they received a Minion in addition to their awards, and the Leaders thought it was cute to get a twinkie that said "Thanks a MINION for being such a great Cub Scout Leader. They were a fun addition to the Minion Coloring Page. ** Sara Lee and Great Value (Walmart) brand have plain wrappers.

A&W Root Beer PRINTABLE Leader Gift "You're an Awesome Cub Scout Leader" Great for the Blue & Gold

I found an amazing gift on Pinterest that I wanted to give out to our Cub Scout Leaders. It was very similar to this A&W Rootbeer tag. I had decided that I was going to give it out to everyone, and when I went to print it out, the website would not open up with the link from Pinterest. I tried a couple different ways, but couldn't get into the site. Maybe it is no longer available. I quickly made up my own A&W Root Beer gift tag, and I am posting it on here to share with others. Hope some of you will be able to use it.
