Girl Scout Daisy Songs Every Leader Should Know

If you have taken on the monumental task of becoming a Daisy Girl Scout leader, then you are going to need a few tricks up your sleeve to keep the girls actively engaged and with you.  One tool to have in your leader toolbox  is to use coloring pages as a sponge activity when girls first enter the meeting room. This gets them focused while the others are trickling in. These same pages can also be used at the end of an activity to keep those who finish early quietly entertained.

Another activity you will want to do with your Daisy Scouts is sing scouting songs. You have heard the expression “music calms the savage beast?”  Well, little girls are not beasts, but things can easily get led astray if you do not keep them on task.  

Singing is a great way to begin or end a meeting or do as an activity while you are having you are meeting.

Music and Learning Go Hand in Hand Like Peanut Butter and Jelly

There is more to it than fun!

Every culture has a rich history of songs.  It one way that stories were told and were passed down from one generation to the next.  From an early age, children are taught through song the alphabet, how to count, and other important preschool skills. The hand movements associated with these songs helps develop eye-hand coordination and well as memorization skills.  It also helps with listening skills, as children need to hear the words carefully in order to repeat them.


Music is a social activity for children. Rhythm and counting beats is taught with others in a joyful setting in music classes or just marching around the room with Mommy or Daddy at home.  Gross motor development is learned when children learn song and dance, like The Alley Cat or The Hokey Pokey.

Music does not judge, all children can do it, no matter what their ability level is. This is not a subject that is graded.


That is why a well prepared Girl Scout leader will have a few songs on her phone  or other electronic device so their girls can dance and sing. And you can join them!  They would get a real kick out of that!

Some adults won't sing in public because they cannot carry a tune. Don't concern yourself with this! The girls will sense your joy and happiness while you are singing and only focus on that.
