11/16/2005: "Daisy Scout Night"

Troop leader Lisa is in the homeschool group I joined recently--that's how I found out about the daisy girl scouts. The girls were officially welcomed into the troop, and awards were given to the other girls for their accomplishments. Cheanna and Emma received the Daisy Pin signifying their membership, and I had previously ironed on the daisy promise center and light blue patch.

The Girl Scout Promise :
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.


In Daisy Girl Scouts, girls earn 10 Learning Petals. Each petal is a different color, which represents a different phrase from 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.

The center patch is earned for knowing the promise and the light blue petal represents being honest and fair, and Cheanna and Emma have completed the requirements for that petal.

After the investiture ceremony, we ate daisy cupcakes and then the girls worked on their craft totes. Allison, also from the homeschool group, helped Elena work on an extra tote =)
