Daisy Vi Petal

Girls earned their Vi petal, "be a sister to every Girl Scout", in conjunction with celebrating the annual Christmas party.  Santa visited.  Girls made bracelets for fellow sister scouts, as well as made a craft for their families.

Daisy Zinni Petal

Girls earned their Zinnie, "considerate and kind", petal.  They discussed bullying and played an anti-bullying game. The girls drew themselves and talked about how they feel when they are excluded or left out, as well as discussed ways to avoid doing that to others.

Daisy Lupe Petal

The girls earned their Lupe, "Honest and Fair", petal.  They played the Truth/Lie game and the Honest and Fair Hunt.

Daisy Rosie Petal and It's Your World Bee

Girls celebrates Juliette Gordon Low's Birthday with a birthday party with brand new stuffed animals for donation to Mission Kids, a child advocacy center that works with numerous agencies, including local law enforcement, to provide a center for the team investigation of child abuse cases.  Girls fulfilled the It's Your World Journey Bee  requirement.

Daisy My Faith, My Promise Pin and Promise Center

Girls talked about what a promise is and how important it is that we keep our word. 

Girls earned the My Promise, My Faith pin, which complements existing religious recognitions and allows girls to further strengthen the connection between their faith and Girl Scouts. Once each year, a girl can earn the My Promise, My Faith pin by carefully examining the Girl Scout Law and tying it directly to tenets of her faith.  (http://www.girlscouts.org/content/dam/girlscouts-gsusa/forms-and-documents/about-girl-scouts/gs-and-faith/Faith_Handout_EnglishDescription.pdf)

Daisy Safety Pin



Girls discussed safety information they need to memorize, like their address, parents' contact information, and when to call 911.  A local police officer visited and went over age appropriate safety information.  Girls completed an "all about me" craft to help them remember important family information.

Getting Started

I got the idea for this space as a way to chronicle moving from a traditional troop, based at a Catholic school, to a combination Juliette/independent scouting experience and virtual/in person troop.  That being said, I wanted to also include how my current year (year 2) of scouting worked through all the Daisy items in a year.  This allowed my Daisy 2s to pick up anything they'd missed while also earning the items they'd yet to earn.  Although this post in written in May 2016, it is being backdated to September 2015, so that I can have the entire Daisy year flow in the order things were earned.  These will be small posts, so that actual blogging starts with Brownies.  But, hopefully, this can give anyone who stumbles across the Daisy information some ideas.
