With spring in full bloom, it is time to think about the Earth on which we live. In elementary schools, there are plenty of Earth Day activities that your girls will be participating.

Should you, as the leader, have your troop participate in this celebration?

Of course you should!

Part of the Girl Scout Promise is to make the world a better place.  We need to be considerate and caring of our planet and responsible for what we say and do.

All of this make Earth Day a perfect theme for a meeting!

4 Easy Ways Your Troop Can Earn the Violet Daisy Petal Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout

UPDATED OCTOBER 2019

One of the aspects of Girl Scouts is sisterhood.  We are all sisters to every Girl Scout in the world.  Most importantly, young children need to be taught to be kind and respectful to the others in their troop.  After all, they may be together for years and years!

Activities for earning the violet Daisy petal, Be a 
Sister to Every Girl Scout does not need to be expensive or time consuming.  It just has to be fun!

This Daisy petal activity has the girls in your troop becoming secret sisters, and then ending with a fun craft that will become a memento of this petal. Girls this age love to craft, so it will be successful.

Another Violet petal activity is one I created on the spur of the moment before we had our first meeting for our second year of Daisies.  This is called the Daisy Chain of Friendship and it only requires computer paper or white construction paper, magic markers, and a stapler for each adult.  This can be done at any time during the Daisy year, but I do think it is a fun one to visually foster sisterhood.

Your troop can make a Swap for a sister troop to earn this petal.

Another activity is to make a troop craft that is only for the girls in your troop. You can find directions here on how to do that.
