The Girl Scout Daisy Snacks Badge Has Arrived!

When my daughter was a Daisy Scout back in 2008-2010, there were no badges to earn. Fast forward to now, and there are so many choices for leaders to use with their girls.

One choice that is missing from the roster of Daisy badges is a food oriented badge. Every other level has one or two. When a leader has a multi-level troop, she has no badge option for her Daisies to earn; all she can give them is a fun patch.

I have created an unofficial Girl Scout Daisy Snacks badge, complete with requirements! Whether you are a Daisies only level troop or a multi-level troop, this badge your girls will enjoy earning.

What is the Girl Scout Daisy Snacks Badge?

The badge requirements include a preparation page with an introduction and a list of what items are needed. 

While Daisy badges require only three steps for completion, four steps are included. This gives leaders choices and also makes it easier to integrate with your Brownies who are earning their Snacks badge.

The options are:

• Make a Savory Snack
• Make a Sweet Snack
• Snacks for Energy
• Slurp a Snack

All of the steps include multiple recipes and are no bake. There are alternative options for those who have peanut allergies in the troop.

In addition, the snacks are easy for the girls to prepare.

The badge has an iron on backing-no sewing required!

Where on the Uniform Can You Place the Girl Scout Daisy Snacks Badge?

The Snacks badge is unofficial, so technically, it is supposed to go on the back of the vest. 

That being said, there are no badge police and you can place it on the front. That is what I did for my daughter when she earned some unofficial badges. No one said a word as she proudly bridged to Adult and those badges were on the front of her vest!

You can find the unofficial Girl Scout Daisy Snacks badge here on Etsy.

The Easiest Girl Scout Kaper Chart Ever (and it’s not a chart!)

Giving girls jobs keep them actively involved with every troop meeting. Here is the easiest Girl Scout Kaper chart that leaders will use for years!

Over the years, I have written extensively about Girl Scout Kaper charts (you can check out those posts here).

Recently, a leader in a Girl Scout Facebook group recently shared her version of a kaper chart, and it is mic drop genius!

I remember schlepping my large poster board kaper chart in from Daisies until 5th grade Juniors. In bad weather, I had to put it in a black garbage bag so it would not get ruined. It was one more large thing to juggle, along with my leader bag and bags of craft, cooking, or other materials for the meeting. Since we met after school, my daughter could not help me and my co-leader was coming straight from work.

This Girl Scout Kaper chart is not a chart, is easy to carry into each meeting, and is a low out of pocket (and reimbursable) expense.

These are wrist keychain key tags with a stretchy coil and they come in 10 assorted colors. Write the kaper on each tag and that scout wears that tag during the meeting.

One way to keep it "fair" with assigning jobs (you know how young children stand on that hill), put the wristlets into a gift bag or lunch bag. As part of you opening, have each girl turn her head and reach into the bag. That is her kaper for that meeting.

If you want, on a simple chart, your co-leader can keep track of who does each job at the meeting.

Need Ideas for Girl Scout Kaper Chart Jobs?

In order for this to work, each scout needs a job. Here are some ideas:

• Lead the Pledge of Allegiance
• Flag Holder
• Lead the Girl Scout Promise and Girl Scout Law
• Take attendance
• Set up craft stations
• Pass out papers or craft supplies
• Bathroom buddy
• Floater (substitute if someone is absent)
• Push in chairs
• Clean up crew
• Game leader (selects the game your troop will play)
• Lead songs
• Lead a game
• Lead goodbye
