Daisy scouts are 5 and 6 year old girls, or girls in kindergarten and 1^stgrade. (Although 1^st graders are more typically Brownies.)

HISTORY:

Daisy Scouting is the newest age level in the GSUSA. It was introduced in the 1980s. Daisies gets its name from the founder of the Girl Scout movement, Juliette Gordon Low, whose nickname was Daisy.

 

UNIFORM:

Daisies wear a special Girl Scout pin that depicts a daisy flower inside a trefoil shape. They may also wear a sky blue tunic and other uniform items including shirts, shorts, socks and hair pieces. All items are optional, although the little girls do enjoy wearing their tunic to display their earned awards and participation patches.

 

ACTIVITIES:

Daisies sing; play games; do crafts; explore science, nature, their community and history and more; hike and even camp (along with family members). Their activities are designed to introduce them to the values of the Girl Scout law while having a lot of fun.

 

COST:

Girls must be registered with GSUSA in order to participate in Girl Scout activities. All other expenses are optional and are determined by the scout, family & troop.
