New Daisy troops are short on funds, and leaders may be wondering what their girls can do to celebrate Valentine's Day. You can earn different Daisy petals during this meeting. For example, you can earn the Friendly and Helpful petal or Light Green Considerate and Caring petal by giving their creations to someone else.

Your time is also a very valuable asset, and by using Valentine's Day craft kits that are prepackaged and ready to use, you are able to save time and money. This is especially true if you are selling cookies this season!

If you are selling Girl Scout cookies this year, it is the perfect time to throw in a lesson on good manners and to teach the girls about being considerate and caring (they can even earn the spring green petal by doing this activity).

Here is a list of resources for you to use with your troop. These are free printable Girl Scout cookie thank you cards and tags. You can have the girls attach them to the boxes they sell and have them sign their first name only, or you can have them sign with the troop number.
