Holiday Shopping with a Surprise Twist: The Annual "Kids Shop"

Nov 18, 2024 at 9:10 PM
During the holiday season, it's time to start thinking about those special gifts. And this year, don't miss the opportunity of the annual "Kids Shop." Every year, the Boy Scouts create a wonderful space where kids can pick out inexpensive presents for their loved ones without the prying eyes of parents.

Let Kids Shop in Privacy with the Scouts

How the "Kids Shop" Works

Imagine this: Scouts escort your kids through the "shop" set up in the cafeteria, while you wait comfortably in the front reception area. The gifts they choose will be carefully wrapped (or gift bagged) and tagged by adults and scouts, ensuring a delightful surprise for you. It's a unique experience that allows children to express their love and thoughtfulness.

While waiting, you can take a moment to relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy a delicious lunch or snack. Scouts and volunteers will be on hand to serve you, adding to the festive atmosphere. And if you prefer, you can accompany your children and help them pick out gifts together. Admission to the event is free, making it accessible to all.

The Event Details

Troop 92 will be hosting the event on the busy first Saturday of December, which is December 7th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. They will be setting up shop again in the Parish Hall at St. Ann's Church, located at 20 Boston Road. This popular event gives children the chance to shop for unique and affordable gifts for their parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, babysitters, and even their pets.

It's a wonderful opportunity for kids to show their appreciation and make the holiday season even more special. With the help of the Scouts and volunteers, everything runs smoothly, creating a memorable experience for both children and parents.
