Did you know that on 3/3/33 your Daisy troop will be 11th or 12th grade Ambassador Scouts? 

I have a fun way for your troop to celebrate now and then again later!

This Girl Scout Daisy Time Capsule Meeting for Thirds Day 3.3.33 is one where your troop will create a special box of memories to be opened when they are teenagers. March 3, 2033 takes place on a Thursday, so it will be Thirds Day! It is another special numerical palindrome that your scouts will get to celebrate.

The foundation of the Girl Scouts is the Girl Scout Law. These 10 building blocks are the basis for everything your troop does. These Girl Scout Law Games for Daisies and Brownies contain 5 Print and Go Activities and Games that you can do over and over again. They are perfect for sponge activities before your meeting starts, time fillers for the end of meetings, and something engaging to do for early finishers in your troop.

Easy Valentine's Day Girl Scout Daisy Meeting

Take a breath during cookie season with these easy ideas for a Girl Scout Valentine's Day meeting.

The holiday season is over. There is still a whole lot of winter that has to happen before the warmer spring season arrives. Your troop is stuck indoors…unless you are selling Girl Scout cookies at booths on the weekends. If you want a break from focusing on cookies, why not plan a fun Valentine’s Day meeting that does not require a lot of planning.

If you have read my blog for any length of time, you know how much I love to plan and organize.  Now is the time to start thinking about a Valentine’s Day craft if your meeting falls near the holiday.  Yes, I know that it is also World Thinking Day on February 22nd, as well as Twos Day, but newer and younger troops may not be celebrating this year. Plus, in case you are not aware, you can celebrate WTD any time of year, not just in February.

Your Valentine's Day meeting can be done in three simple steps.

1. Read a Story

There are so many wonderful Valentine's Day books for kids. Here are just a few.

3. Make a Treat

Because Council rules vary, your girls may not be able to eat their Valentine's Day treat while at your meeting, and that is fine. Have plastic bags and/or foil to wrap up whatever you are making and the girls can eat their treat at home.

Materials

Cookies
Icing
Paper plates
Paper bowls
Plastic knives
Red or pink sugar and sprinkles

One of the easiest and most fun activities that my girls did through the years is decorate cookies. If you are not a baker, go to the grocery store and buy the jumbo package of sugar cookies.

Have the icing and decorations in bowls around the table. Have the girls decorate them. Easy!

What is your troop doing for Valentine's Day?
