The Journey: Between Earth and Sky
This week’s chapter in our Journey curriculum was about plants that can clean the soil, such as sunflowers, and urban gardens, and changing plans on a journey. The characters travelled via their petal-powered car to Pittsburgh, PA, where they were joined by a new friend, Sunny the sunflower, for their journey across the country.
The Daisy Craft
The girls also brought home a craft, where they arranged all the different-colored Daisy petals on a paper plate. The 10 Daisy petals all correspond to a part of the Girl Scout Law. Kirsty spoke with the girls about the meanings of the parts of the law, and the girls gave some great examples from their own lives. The object of the craft is to help the girls memorize the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law, which are both displayed in the right margin of the blog.

The Yellow Petal Worksheet
Next week, the girls will earn their yellow Daisy petal. The yellow petal stands for the part of the Girl Scout Law, “be friendly and helpful.” They brought home worksheet to help them record how and when they are helpful around the house (since we already know they are all friendly). Daisies and their families can use the worksheet as a thinking tool to help the girls understand how able and important they are.
