Info Needed: Scouts write compliments for someone they live with, then read them together as a group.

---

Items Needed:

• Slips of paper (1 or more per scout)
• Pens or markers
• Bag or box to hold the compliments

Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 30–40 minutes):

1. Write Compliments (10–15 minutes)
   • Each scout writes or draws a compliment for someone who lives with them.
   • Compliments can describe something the person does well, a kind trait, or a reason they’re appreciated.
   • (Optional) Scouts can write more than one compliment if time allows.
2. Collect and Mix (5–7 minutes)
   • Scouts fold their papers and place them in the bag or box.
   • Mix the compliments gently so they’re shuffled.
   • (Optional) Add decorative touches to the bag or box before mixing.
3. Share and Reflect (15–18 minutes)
   • Each scout takes a turn pulling out a compliment and reading it aloud.
   • If a compliment feels personal, the scout may choose to read it silently or pass it to another reader.
   • Reflect together on how it feels to give and receive compliments.
   • (Optional) Scouts can take their own compliment slip home as a reminder of their kind words.
