I need some help. Volunteer recognition?

[Locust Fork Leader]

I have some parents (just a few) that put in a lot of time and hard work on a project and I'd like to recognize them at our pack Christmas party. Can you give me a link where I can find a nice certificate or a cutsie award? I know that I've received stuff like top Banana (plaque with a banana on it). Do you know where I could find some ideas or maybe some of you have some? These parents put some long hours into the float that we used at the Christmas parade. We have about 30 scouters and there were a total of 4 sets of parents work on this float and I think that they need some kind of recognition and the others need to know that they need to help out. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

To stay with the 'float' theme.

 

How about giving each an ice cream float (freshly made).

 

Or maybe a blow-up inflatable pool toy (they float).

 

Or a bouquet of helium balloons (they float too).

ScoutXing has some award ideas, too. I didn't see anything specifically related to floats, but here's their site:

Thanks for the suggestions. I've got to get the stuff in gear. Our party is Monday!!!

Once you get a theme idea why not have the cubbies make or decorate some certificates? A scout made "Award" has a prominent place on my brag wall.

That sounds like a great idea, only draw back is that we haven't anytime before the party for the cubbies to make it. We have a time factor that isn't in my favor. :-( We've had a ton of things going on.
