Activity Description: Design personalized name tag necklaces featuring their organization’s oath or promise to help everyone learn each other’s names.

Items Needed:

• Scout name tag templates
• Scout Oath or Promise printouts (sized to fit the back of the name tags)
• Yarn (pre-cut into 2- to 4-foot sections)
• Scissors
• Glue sticks
• Hole punch
• Colored markers, crayons, or colored pencils

Before the Meeting Starts:

1. Prep Supplies. (10–15 min)
   • Print enough name tag templates and Scout Oath/Promise printouts for every scout.
   • Cut the yarn into 2- to 4-foot sections so they are ready to be tied into necklaces.

Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 10–20 min):

1. Tag Decorating (5–10 mins):
   • Hand out a name tag template to each youth. Youth color their name tags and write their names clearly on the front (assist younger scouts with writing their names if needed).
2. Tag Assembly (5–10 mins):
   • Youth punch a single hole at the top of their name tag, then glue the Scout Oath or Promise printout to the back of their name tag.
   • Thread a piece of pre-cut yarn through the punched hole and tie the ends together to make a necklace. Adult Volunteers may need to assist.
   • (Optional) Ask the youth to wear their new name tags for the rest of the meeting so everyone can get to know each other.
