Use inexpensive supplies to make this mouse bookmark; shoestring, beads, felt, googly eyes and a pom-pon.

Scout Idea: have your scouts make the craft and write out the poem to keep.
They then tie a knot in the string every time they do a good deed.
This saucy creature is a mouse
Most mothers won’t let one in the house
See, this one it has quite a tail,
Each scout made one without fail.
Take it home and help all week,
and for good turns you must seek
for every good turn that you do
tie a knot in the string…make quite a few.
Remember why each knot you tied
and how much to help you really tried
and then next week, please take your turn
to tell us all, so we can learn…
just what you did to help at home
a ready helper you have grown!
