Welcome Girl Scout Daisies and Families

Welcome Girl Scout Daisies and Families, 

We would like to extend a warm welcome to all Daisy Girls!  We can’t wait to experience blossoming friendships, creative activities, and exciting journeys with all of you. This is going to be a spectacular year with some amazing little girls! 

MEETINGS:

Our meetings will be held on Monday every other week after CS students are dismissed from school at  2:40pm.  Troop leaders will meet Daisy Troop girls in the gymnasium and will promptly walk them over to the meeting place. 

The meeting will end at 4pm.  Parents can meet us in the hall and we will bring the girls to you at that time.  

 Please write a note giving your daughter permission to stay after for our GS meetings.  Your daughter's teacher should know what days she will be staying after for our Girl Scout meetings to avoid any confusion.   (Please see dates below.)  One permission note is okay to use throughout the year.  Christine and I will also be sending teachers a list of dates and the names of the girls that will be participating in our meetings to ensure the safety of each Daisy:-)   

The meeting dates are:

December 7: Open House Meet & Greet

December 14: First official meeting! Don’t forget to send a note to your child’s teacher today!

January, 4, 11, 25

February 8, 22

March 7, 21

April 4, 11, 25

UNIFORMS/BADGES:

We would like the girls to come to each meeting wearing their daisy vest to add to the spirit of Girl Scouts! The cost for the tunic, petals, flag, pins, etc. will be sent out via email.  We recommend providing a check to your Troop Leader in the amount of $27.00, or going to the local Girl Scout store located in Middleboro.  However, if you prefer you can go online too.

Girl Scout Daisy Tunic $16.50

Daisy Petal Set: $8.50

Membership Pin: $2.00 

* Additional costs may be incurred for more badges/pins

Each parent is asked to  help with assembling the uniforms with pins and patches.  We ask that provide the petal set to a Troop Leader for safe keeping and a special ceremony at commencement. We will include a picture so that you can see where each patch goes.  Please let us know if you have any questions and we would be happy to help.

GOALS

This year we plan to focus on crafts, songs, games and FRIENDSHIPS, of course!  In addition, the girls will earn "petal patches" throughout the year.  

Girls earn these by doing activities that embody the 10 parts of Girl Scout promise:
