March 6 - Daisy Scouts

A lot of people ask about Julia's Girl Scout troop. What do we do? How often do we meet? How many girls participate? We currently meet once a month (the last Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm) and there are 6 kindergartners. We start off each meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law. As a Daisy, the girls first earn the Promise Center patch by learning the GS Promise. Then they earn the following petals (they have 2 years to earn them):

• Honesty and Fair
• Friendly and Helpful
• Considerate and Caring
• Courageous and Strong
• Responsible for what I Say and Do
• Respect Myself and Others
• Respect Authority
• Use Resources Wisely
• Make the World a Better Place
• Be a Sister to every Girl Scout

After the GS Law, we read a story out of our Daisy books about one of the above themes, have a snack and then do a related activity. In November we focused on learning the GS Promise (earning the center patch). In December we worked on being Considerate and Caring (making cards and ornaments for a local retirement center). In January the girls worked on being Honest and Fair (played a lot of games) while last week, they worked on Respecting Myself and Others. We did an activity focused on good and bad manners and then had a princess tea party where their practiced good manners. We aren't the most active troop (some troops meet several times a month) but we have fun!

Here are the posters they made about manners
