Vi Petal – Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout

Objectives:

1. Read Vi’s Story
2. Learn more about how Juliette Gordon Low wanted girls around the world to join together in sisterhood through Girl Scouting
3. Find ways to connect with other girl scouts

Read Vi’s Story:

Vis-StoryDownload

How were the flowers from other countries the same as the Flower Friends from home?

How were they different?

Which country do you want to know more about? Why?

Juliette Gordon Low founded Girl Scouts of the USA in 1912. Her vision always was to have girl scouts of all different backgrounds, from all around the world, come together in sisterhood. Have an adult helper read to you more about who she was and her vision for Girls Scouts around the world. Here are a few places you can learn more about Juliette and her legacy.

Make a Daisy chain: Find out how many girls are in your troop. Print out enough copies of the template below so that you have one link for every girl in your troop, including you! On each link, write the name of one girl in your Daisy troop (don’t forget you!). Then write one thing that you like about each girl. Decorate the links however you like, then cut them out (have an adult help you if needed). Using glue or tape, secure the first link in a loop. Thread the next piece through the first loop before securing to make a chain of links. Hang up your chain to remind you how you are connected to Daisies all around the world!

Find ways to connect with other girl scouts: (choose 1 activity to complete)

If you are in a troop, have your troop leader assign girls to each other, so no one gets left out. If you are a single girl troop, reach out to your service unit for help connecting with other Daisy scouts.

1. Mail a hug (see picture below for instructions). Include a copy of this poem:

I miss you when you’re far away.
I’d love to see you every day.
But since I can’t come over to play,
I’m mailing you a hug today!

So although it be my quite a sight,
Wrap my arms around you tight!
Repeat daily to keep your smile bright,
Until we get to reunite!

Printable Mail-a-Hug poemDownload

2. Make a special card for a friend. Include a note about what makes them special.Mail or e-mail the card to them. (Alternatively, have the girls share their cards or pictures when you hold a virtual meeting.)

3. Make two bracelets. One should be purple and green for you to keep to remind you to be a sister to every girl scout. The second one you will make for a special Daisy friend and can be any color you want. Hold onto the bracelet until you see your friend again, or send it to her in the mail.

If you have other ideas, please send them to me and I will include them! 🙂

Now that you have met Vi print and color her picture! (optional)

You did it! You earned all your Daisy petals and finished learning about the Girl Scout Law! I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Daisy Petal at Home: Make the World a Better Place

Looking for other Daisy Badges? Check out my Resources Page!

No time now? Pin it for later!

Try to find ways to bring a little joy into the world as you earn your light pink Daisy petal!

Rosie Petal – Make the World a Better Place

Objectives:

1. Read Rosie’s Story
2. Come up with ideas on how to make the world a better place
3. Choose an activity to help make the world a better place

There are many ways to do help make the world a better place like drawing pictures for someone at the hospital, watering inside and outside plants, or collecting food and supplies for a homeless shelter.

What are some other ways you can make the world a better place?

Read Rosie’s Story:

Rosies-StoryDownload

How does Rosie show that she wants to make the world a better place?

What do you think would have happened if Rosie didn’t tell the beach patrol about the overflowing garbage cans?

How did the Flower Friends make the world better when they gave other people tips about reducing the amount of trash they have to throw out?

What have you done to make the world a better place? Why do you think it’s important to help nature? Why do you think it’s important to help other people?

Find three pieces of paper that have been used on one side. Flip them over to the blank side and write “Helping Animals” on the first piece, “Helping People” on the second piece, and “Helping our Planet” on the third. Decorate your posters with photos from magazines or using other craft supplies. Make sure you remember to only include items that match the theme of each poster.

Are any of the ideas from your poster things you can do today to help make the world a better place?

For the final activity, choose one thing you can do from the options below, or pick one thing from the posters you made as an activity to complete. Activity 1 can happen anytime, while activities 2 and 3 are geared towards the stay-at-home order currently in place.

  1. Get ready for a trash walk. Make sure you have a bag to put trash in. If you have a local park, you can walk there, but you can also just walk around your neighborhood. As you enjoy the fresh air, try to count all the things you see that don’t belong in nature. Could you keep count? Look for places where trash is laying on the ground. Pick it up and throw it away! Trash pick up fun patch
  2. Create a thank you collage in a window facing the street to thank all the workers who are out there keeping stores open, hospitals running, and keeping us safe! Thank you fun patch
  3. Make cards and drawings to send to a local nursing home. Especially now, residents from nursing homes can’t have visitors. Maybe you can make a card or draw something cheerful to send to them. 🙂 Cards to Seniors fun patch

(If you have other great ideas share them with me so I can add them to the list!) Acts of kindness fun patch

Now that you have met Rosie print and color her picture! (optional)

Rosie-the-Rose-Coloring-pageDownload

Awesome! We are almost finished with the Girl Scout Law! I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place…

Just one petal left! See you soon. 🙂

Daisy Petal at Home: Use Resources Wisely

Looking for other Daisy Badges? Check out my Resources Page!

No time now? Pin it for later!

Using resources wisely is not just about recycling. When you earn your green Daisy petal, you’ll have a better understanding of ways you can make a difference every day!

Clover Petal – Use Resources Wisely

Objectives:

1. Read Clover’s Story
2. Make art from things you find around the house
3. Find ways to use resources wisely at home

Read Clover’s Story:

Clovers-StoryDownload

How did Clover use resources wisely?

What do you think would have happened to the leftover yogurt and apples if Clover hadn’t suggested making a dip?

When have you been resourceful? Can you think of other ways to be resourceful?

Find new ways to make art from old things.

Option 1: Make a Collage

Using old magazines or postcards, create a collage. You may want to make a collage of flowers or create a picture of a new Flower Friend.

Option 2: Egg Carton or Tissue Roll Art

If you have cardboard egg cartons at home, you can turn them into art. Some great ideas are a bouquet of flowers or fish and turtles. You can also use toilet paper rolls to make fun art projects. Have an adult helper look on Pinterest for endless ideas. Egg Carton Craft Ideas

Option 3: Pencil Holders

Find a used can, yogurt container, or plastic cup. Have an adult helper make sure it is washed and dried. Then cover the container with paper that has been used on one side, leaving the white side out. Color the holder with flowers, bees, plants, and trees. This holder is made from something that would have gone into the trash. Once you’re done decorating your holder, you can use it to put your crayons, markers, and pencils in. This is a good way to use resources wisely!

Practice being resourceful at home. For example, you can help your family make a recipe using leftovers so the food won’t go to waste. Maybe you can practice saving water while you are brushing your teeth by turning off the water until you are ready to rinse. You can practice saving energy by turning the lights or TV off when you are not using them.

What other ideas can you think of?

Now that you have met Clover, print and color her picture! (optional)

Clover-Coloring-PageDownload

You’ve done it! Now you can recite more of the Girl Scout Law! I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely… Great job!

Daisy Petals at Home: Respect Myself and Others and Respect Authority

No time now? Pin it for later!

Respect for yourself and others, including those in authority, is very important. Once you have earned your purple and dark pink petals, you will know why!

Gloria Petal – Respect Myself and Others & Gerri Petal – Respect Authority

Objectives:

1. Read the stories of Gloria and Gerri and talk about them

2. Create a thank you card to send to someone you respect

3. Practice ways to respect yourself

4. Learn more about respecting others, especially those in authority

Read Gloria’s Story:

Glorias-StoryDownload

How did Gloria show that she had respect for herself?

How did she show she had respect for others?

What Girl Scout traditions (such as the quiet sign) show that you have respect for others?

Read Gerri’s Story:

Gerris-StoryDownload

Why do you think Lupe has rules for people who ride in her car?

How do you think Lupe felt when the other Flower Friends did what she asked them to do?

What other times did the Flower Friends show that they respected authority?

Optional video about the importance of rules and laws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhWVQQQ5hVU

You’ve read Gerri’s story about respecting authority, and now you get a chance to do it yourself.

Write a thank-you note to someone who gave you a present, helped you out in some way, or you can even write a thank you note to send to your local firefighters or healthcare workers to thank them for working to keep us safe. Either mail the note to them or have an adult help you post it online so that they know how thankful you are.

Play a manners game – when you hear an action discuss whether it is good manners or bad manners and why.

  • Chew with your mouth open
  • Greet someone by saying hello
  • Say please and thank you
  • Get up from the table during the meal without asking
  • Stick out your tongue at someone near you
  • Put your napkin in your lap
  • Make funny noises while drinking your drink
  • Grab someone else’s snack
  • Ask to be excused from the table when everyone has finished eating
  • Help clear up the table

Think of three healthy things you can do to show that you respect yourself, such as eating a good breakfast, choosing healthy snacks, or getting some exercise every day. Draw a picture to remind yourself of what you want to do and put it someplace where you’ll see it often.

Talk to your family about the rules you all agree to follow and why they’re important. Ask an adult to write a list, and then draw a little picture next to each rule to remind you what they are.

Now that you have met Gloria and Gerri, print and color their pictures! (optional)

Gloria-the-Morning-Glory-coloring-pageDownload
Gerri-the-Geranium-coloring-pageDownload

You’ve done it! Now you can recite more of the Girl Scout Law! I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority… Great job!

Daisy Petal at Home: Responsible for What I Say and Do

No time now? Pin it for later!

Actions speak louder than words; when you promise to do something, be sure to follow through! The orange petal is all about being accountable for your words.

Mari Petal – Responsible for What I Say and Do

Objectives:

1. Enjoy and talk about “Mari’s story”.
2. Find ways to remind yourself to be responsible for what you say and do.
3. Practice being responsible at home.

Mari the Marigold stands for practicing what she says and does. Another way to explain it is when you make a promise and stick to it!

What is a promise you have made and kept?

Read “Mari’s Story” together.

Maris-StoryDownload

Talk about the story:

When did Mari show that she was responsible for what she says and does?

How do you think she felt when she couldn’t get ice cream with her cousins? How do you think she felt when she finished decorating the cupcakes?

When have you shown that you’re responsible for what you say and do? How did it make you feel?

Think of a few ways you can show, every day, that you’re responsible for what you say and do.

Make a promise to do something like put your toys away or make your bed. Draw yourself doing that activity—and then do it!

Mari showed how responsible she was by cleaning up the picnic table and leaving everything the way she found it. Think of ways you can show your family how responsible you are—maybe by keeping track of your belongings, throwing away your trash after you’ve finished a meal, or picking up trash that others have left behind.

(Practice being responsible with your girl by turning chores into a game)

Whose is whose?

When you bring the washing in from the clothesline or dryer, tip the contents of the basket into the middle of the floor.

Have an allocated basket, box or area for each member of the family. The idea is to work out what item of clothing belongs to which person and to put it in the right basket. The game can erupt into lots of giggles when you suggest your child’s singlet might fit you or that daddy’s jeans may be theirs.

My Kitchen Helper

Meal time is a great chance to teach your young child responsibility. They can help you prepare food, set the table and serve parts of the meal. Afterwards, there’s clean up time too.

Start small with just one task or activity at a time. Children love make-believe kitchens, but nothing beats the real thing.

Enlist your little helper in an activity that will keep them occupied while you get on with the main preparation. You’ll be amazed how much care (and time) they will take to help out!

Print and color the Mari coloring page. (optional)

Mari-Coloring-PageDownload

Now, when we say the Girl Scout Law, you will know exactly what it means to be Responsible for What I Say and Do!

Practice up to that line at home: “I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do…” Awesome job!

Daisy Petal at Home: Promise Center

No time now? Pin it for later!

Last year I started on the roller coaster journey of being a Girl Scout Troop co-leader.

And what a journey it has been!

After spending Kindergarten working on our petals, we have dived into badges this year. But of course, that has all be derailed for a bit. (Just like the ants derailed my baking projects last year and left me reflecting on how I earned my Daisy Petals as a leader. 😉 Which you can check out here.)

This year we had the pleasure of adding five new girls to our troop. It has been wonderful to have them, but since they did not get to do their petals with us last year, we have had to come up with solutions for them to earn them on their own.

Since I have all this new found free time, I have been working through the petal requirements and adapting them to be earned at-home.

I am hoping that this can also be a resource to other troops out there who might have girls working on their petals at home as well.

The Promise Center is the heart of the Daisy journey, and the first item to work on.

Objectives:

1. Learn the Girl Scout sign
2. Practice saying the Girl Scout Promise
3. Discuss what it means to “promise” something

-First, let’s learn the girl scout sign. Girl Scouts use this sign when reciting the Promise and the Law. We also use this as a signal for quiet when someone is talking, and when we give our Girl Scout friends a special handshake.

– Hold up your right hand with the three middle fingers up and hold your thumb and pinky finger together.

– The next important thing to know as a Daisy Girl Scout is that you make a promise.

– Let’s recite the promise, repeat each line after it is said:
              On my honor,
              I will try
              to serve God and my country,
              to help people at all times,
              and to live by the Girl Scout Law

– “On my honor” means you are promising to do something

– Living “by the Girl Scout Law” means you want to make the world a better place

– What does it mean to make a promise? Why is it important to keep them?

– What do you think the words “I will try” mean?

– Discuss how at the end of meetings, we always make a Friendship Circle. You stand in a circle and cross your right arm over your left. Then you grasp hands with the person next to you. The Friendship Circle stands for the unbroken chain of friendship with Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world.

– A great way to remind us of our friendships with other Girl Scouts is to sing the “Make New Friends” song. If you know it, you can sing it, or you can look online for a video of scouts singing the song to help you learn it:

              Make new friends,
              but keep the old,
              one is silver and the other’s gold.
              A circle is round,
              it has no end
              that’s how long I want to be your friend.

– Practice the correct way to cross arms and make a Friendship Circle. The final part of our ceremony every meeting is the Friendship squeeze.

– Think of a silent wish that you would like to pass along. Once you get the wish and the squeeze passed to you, then you’ll use your right hand to squeeze the hand of the friend next to you, and it will travel all the way around the circle!

– Great job! You have earned the Daisy Promise Center!
