I hope this helps! Is this possible? Anna, how wonderful of you to take in three new girls so late in the scouting season! First of all, I need to ask if you are meeting over the summer.

If you are, then you have time to work on petals until you officially bridge in the fall. I also do not know how this impacts your troop…are these your only Daisies? Is your troop already established as a one-level Daisy troop? This would make answering your question easier, since your other girls should not have to repeat petals. That being said, I would not stress over this.

You can have the girls do whatever the rest of the troop is doing and make them feel welcome and included so they want to continue. The petals do not have to be completed in order to become a Girl Scout Brownie. Girls join troops as Brownies, never having been a Girl Scout Daisy. Your email address will not be published.

How do you earn Petal authority respect? Respect Authority: the Magenta Petal Identify their own feelings and the feelings of others. Discuss how their actions and words might make someone else feel. Identify authority figures and what they do.

Tell someone when their own feelings have been hurt. Practice good manners. Ask for help. What are the Girl Scout Daisy petals? Daisy Blue Center Promise. Orange Responsible for what I say and do.

Magenta Respect Authority. What is a Daisy Journey book? Daisy Flower Garden Journey Book. The result is a storybook world of flowers and little girls who, together, do great things.

Girl Scout Daisies will especially enjoy meeting the colorful, global characters who teach them to live the Girl Scout Law. Journey Book has 88 pages. We discussed the impact that young people can make and I reminded them of their own contribution of time and labor to the Food Bank in November. The orange petal, Mari, encourages us to keep our word and be reliable for the things that we say we will do. I gave the girls chore ideas and chore charts and they were responsible for filling out the chart with their parents and carrying out the chores for two weeks school days only.

With this activity, I was hoping it would also benefit the parents as it taught the girls to take responsibility for their homes! The green petal, Clover, covers being diligent in taking and using the resources we have, and emphasizes the importance of the 7 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Refuse, Repair, Recycle, Repurpose, and Recover. The magenta petal, Gerri, reminds girls to follow instructions of those in charge of safety and security. The meeting to earn Respect Authority was hosted by a troop parent whose husband is a police officer.

She invited a female Deputy Sheriff to her home to speak to the troop about her job. The girls adored meeting Deputy Fox, asking lots of questions, and checking out her awesome duty belt. Overall, I thought that inviting a guest speaker to run this meeting was a great way to engage the girls in a new way and made the meeting a little easier for me to plan. The purple petal, Gloria, shows that good feelings have a ripple effect and, when you start with treating yourself well, you benefit along with everyone around you.

We achieved the Respect Myself and Others petal with an online story and quick craft. The title character is a happy-go-lucky little girl until she gets to Kindergarten and finds out that her name is not so normal.

She is teased and bullied by her female classmates and starts to dislike school and herself. The rose-colored petal, Rosie, illustrates that when girls notice and address a community need, they will positively impact many lives.

My troop chose to make the world a better place by coordinating a warm clothing drive through One Warm Coat. The elementary school where our meetings are held allowed us to place a collection box in the main office from Thanksgiving break until Winter break. Our drive was also featured in our weekly first grade parent newsletters. To our surprise, at the end of our drive, two schools donated all of the coats from their lost and found to us as well!

By taking the lead like Girl Scouts to build a better world, my Daisy troop was able to see the influence that a seemingly-small project could have on other people in our community. The violet petal, Vi, reminds girls that we have sisters all over the world and that, no matter what level of Girl Scouting we represent, we are all working toward one common goal.

Be A Sister to Every Girl Scout was my absolute favorite petal, though it took a little more coordination than the others because we participated in the Flat Juliette exchange. What an amazing resource! The girls exchanged Flat Juliettes and traveled with them during Spring Break. After the break had ended, we sent the Flat Juliettes back with journals, pictures, and some artifacts—it was so much fun! When we opened the boxes with the returned Flat Juliettes from the other troop, we loved reading about their adventures and seeing pictures of where they had been.

The only snafu: one of my girls moved, lost the Flat Juliette, and was unable to complete the project. Nonetheless, my daughter and I pulled together a last-minute project for our sister in New York so she could earn the petal in a different way. The leaves give many Girl Scouts their first introduction to vital business and life skills, such as counting money and money management.

A side note about managing expectations: every leader must gauge the amount of time commitment they can expect from their families. I notified parents of the importance of their roles in our troop and asked that they kindly inform me of any way I could help the girls earn all their badges. Girls who join the troop later or are absent on the day of a badge-earning activity were also asked to complete those projects at home.

There is so much to do in Northern California to earn additional badges and patches; you and your Daisies are only limited by your imagination! She is Midwestern transplant who adores everything Girl Scouting: spending time outdoors, crafting, going on quests and learning.

I wish I had something like this when I was working with my Daisies back in ! Thanks for such a thoughtful post, Liz! Check them out! Thanks for sharing, my Troop is also completing the petals in one year. Ths gave some ideas to complete a couple of petals. Hi June, There are so many fun ways to earn the petals.
