My husband has been the scout master of our ward troop for the last FOUR years. about three years ago (his first going to camp as a leader) I helped him by making a duty roster for the boys...
I just took an old piece of plywood (that had been laying around for years), some random spray paint, and tape. I had the green spray paint left over from one of my sons pinewood derby cars (the fish) so I sprayed both sides of the board (obviously letting one side dry before the other side was painted). Then I took some masking tape and taped off some lines (I think I used some paper too to avoid over spray) and painted in the white lines.
The first year we did this I found some clearance wooden tags. I didn't realize that they were clearance until the 2nd year when I went back to the craft store to get more. They were clearance because they were Christmas ornament leftovers. This year I found some round wooden circles at the ONE and ONLY craft store in my town--I would think that a town with a population over 75,000 would have more than one craft store but whatever...
Anywho...
I drilled a hole in the top and have a friend who sells vinyl make me up some names and stuff to apply on the circles. This year I separated the boys up a bit...the older boys circles stayed natural, the younger boys got a coat of white paint, and the leaders/adults got to be true blue. This is how weird I am...in the past I have made the boys two sets...one set had the scout saying of "Do A Good Turn Daily" on the back and the other set would have the camp motto--one year it was "Eager to Soar". Well this year when I called the scout office to find out the motto they told me that there wasn't one. What up?! Worked out anyways cuz with 11 boys and 5 adults going I couldn't afford to buy that many extra wooden circles.
