Crossover Friends Decorations
On one side of the Scout Friend is a Cub Scout and on the other side is a Boy Scout. Placing the Scout Friend on the bridge represents crossing over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Thanks go to Sharon of Kids Domain for this idea.

You Need:

Scout Friend
Computer
Printer
Cardstock paper
Scissors
Glue
2 Identical pictures of each child (check size!)
Markers, crayons, or colored pencils
Tons of Craft Sticks (you'll need more than you think!)
Low Temp Glue Gun

Instructions:

Print a sheet of Scout Friends on cardstock. Cut out and color one uniform in cub scout colors and one in boy scout colors. Note: The Cub Scout Friend has the diamond shaped rank badges on the pocket. Cut two pieces of cardstock about 1" x 1½". This will become the stand.

Lay one Scout face down on the table. Cover with a layer of glue. Take the piece of cardstock and fold in half to1" x 3/4". Unfold. Place the cardstock at the feet of the friend with the fold facing up and at the bottom of the feet. Put some glue on the part of the card that is above the fold. Place one craft stick down the middle of the Scout Friend. Be sure that the stick will stick up above the neck so that the face can be glued on. Put glue on the back of the stick. Place another stand on top of the Popsicle stick, lining it up with the stand below. This time the fold goes down. Put some glue on the part of the card that is above the fold. Place the other Scout Friend face up, lining up with the first Scout Friend. Press together. Let dry. Break a craft stick to fit on the bottom of the stand. Glue in place. This gives the Scout Friend the ability to stand through the whole ceremony. (grin). Cut out the face of the child in the pictures. Glue a face to each side of the Scout Friend. Glue on the hat.
