Daisy Scout Activities (USA)

Explain that in the US girls join the Girl Scouts (not the Girl Guides)   Daisy Scouts can earn petals to wear on their uniform by taking part in activities surrounding the Girl Scout Law and Promise.

Daisy Girl Scout Craft – Daisy Petal Bracelet
Supplies:  coloured pony beads (colours of the promise), elastic cord, scissors
Instructions:  Cut each girl a 4—6” piece of elastic cord depending on the size of the girls wrist. Use Pony Beads and elastic cord to make the Daisy petals bracelet. Use two to three pony beads of each colour to make the bracelet large enough to fit the girls writs. String the beads one at a time and go over the different colours and meaning with the girls. Tie off at the end.
