Daisy Girl Scout Investiture Resources

Girl Scouts has many long time standing traditions. As a new leader, I know that you are just trying to keep it together from one meeting to the next. 

Take a breath.

One of the things that will help you plan out the year is to incorporate Girl Scout traditions and holidays throughout the scouting year. One of the ceremonies that you can have after you are a few weeks in is an Investiture Ceremony.

An investiture is the welcoming of new members, both girls and adults, into the Girl Scout family for the first time. Girls receive their Girl Scout, Girl Scout Brownie, or Girl Scout Daisy pin at this time.

This is a simple ceremony...do not get yourself into a Pinterest zone of ideas! Keep it simple-your audience is kindergarten or first grade girls. 

In this updated blog post, I have online resources for you to use for your Girl Scout Investiture ceremony.

Getting Along With Your Girl Scout Co-leader and Avoiding the Drama

Updated October 2021

One of the most important relationships that you will have as a Girl Scout leader is the one you will have with your co-leader. If things go well, your troop will thrive and your relationship will blossom. If things go badly, then it can have an impact on your personal health and the well-being of your troop.

Almost five years ago, I wrote this blog post about getting along with your co-leader. It stems from my own issues with the woman who signed up to be a leader with me. While it started out well, by the end of the sixth year, I was over it. There were things I had wished I had done differently, and that is how that blog post was born. 

You can read about how to get along with your co-leader here.

I have a FREE Girl Scout Leader and Co-Leader Pre-Meeting Checklist for you to use so you start the year on the same page. You can find it here at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

Fun Daisy Shapes for Girl Scout Crafts

One thing that I loved about being a Daisy leader was doing crafts. While have done the occasional craft while doing a Girl Scout Journey, nowadays my troop of 11th grade Ambassadors like to go camping and go on outings.

Since you are a leader of Daisies for two years, investing in Daisy shaped items for crafts is a fun idea. Flowers can decorate cards for holidays, Birthday in a Bag projects, scrapbooking, and community service project collection boxes.

Crafting is perfect for those long indoor months when it is a challenge to go outside and earn a badge or go on a field trip. Most little girls like to create things, and using the shape that represents their level of scouting is one way to have them represent!
