Daisy Girl Scouts are named for Girl Scout founder, Juliet Gordon Low. In her kindergarten year she was given the nickname Daisy by an uncle.
Since Daisy Girl Scouts are in kindergarten, instead of the vest or sash worn by Brownie Girl Scouts and Junior Girl Scouts, Daisies wear a blue tunic. Daisies also wear an official Daisy Girl Scout pin on their insignia. Instead of earning patches and badges based upon completing tasks, the Daisies earn patches shaped like flower petals for participation in character education activities based upon the Girl Scout Law. The blue center patch of the daisy on the Daisy Girl Scout tunic is symbolic of the Girl Scout Promise. Each petal, in ten different colors, corresponds with the ten lines on the Girl Scout Law.
During meetings, we will discuss the meaning of the words in the law, and play games and make crafts to enhance the girls learning. Through activities, field trips, dramatic play and role-playing skits, the girls are given the chance to practice their new skill during the meetings. Once petals are awarded, they are sewn or ironed onto the girl’s tunic to announce her commitment to the principles each petal symbolizes.
