Daisy Girl Scouts: Responsible for What I Say & Do Petal

Our Daisy Girl Scout troop has started earning their petal badges! For our first meeting in January, we worked on the orange “Responsible for what I say and do” petal.

Five year olds are exactly the right demographic for the classic “card game” 52 pick-up. We had the girls work as a team in three timed games as our wiggle break activity.

For the main craft, we made “flower pot” chore reminders using three popsicle sticks decorated with a drawing of a daily task (ie: brush teeth, walk dog, do dishes), a paper chrysanthemum and washi tape. This was their best, most-attentive craft project yet!

• Name tags and coloring as girls arrive
• Opening circle with the Girl Scout pledge and handshake
• Discussion of what “responsible” means, promises and New Year’s resolutions
• Wiggle break: timed rounds of 52 pick-up
• Craft: Chore reminder flower pots
• Closing circle: badge ceremony and friendship circle
