With Christmas Spirit running low, things aren’t so merry at the North Pole. Santa’s sleigh won’t fly, gifts aren’t ready, and there’s a chance that some children won’t end up on Santa’s Nice List. But that’s about to change now that you are stepping in to help Santa on this festive mission.
First stop… Scout Elf School. Dash, swing, and leap through magical challenges to become an “official Scout Elf”! It’ll get tricky sometimes, but it’ll mostly be fun and rewarding! In true The Elf on the Shelf tradition, you’ll meet your new family and receive your Scout Elf name. You’ll mix, match and dazzle – create the perfect holiday outfit with sparkling seasonal accessories.
As an official Scout Elf, you won’t just perch in your new spot in the home. You’ll spread holiday cheer, explore every room and fly around the kitchen, over the backyard and back to the North Pole while dodging nutcrackers, swinging past Christmas ornaments and escaping all sorts of obstacles.
Create the perfect holiday outfit with sparkling seasonal accessories.
This season, pledge to make things merry and bright, helping Santa bring joy to children everywhere!
