Kids need to shop for the holidays too, and each year Southborough Boy Scouts offer them a safe and fun environment to do just that. The annual Troop 92 Kids Shop will be held this year on Saturday, December 1, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at Woodward School (28 Cordaville Road).
Here’s how it works. Scouts will escort your kids through the shop set up in the cafeteria while you wait in the lobby. The gifts they purchase will be wrapped for free by adults, so they can keep everything a surprise. There will also be a raffle and, of course, refreshments, including breakfast and lunch items and a huge assortment of homemade cookies.
It’s a popular event that gives children the chance to shop for unique, affordable gifts for their parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, babysitters, and even their pets. (Last year it netted me a sweet set of gingerbread house salt and pepper shakers courtesy of my then 4-year-old.) Parents and grandparents are welcome to shop as well. Admission is free.
