NEW DAISIES: Iron on the Blue Center Patch:
Our new girls learned the Girl Scout Promise and Law and earned their center blue patch. Tip: before ironing on the center patch, you may want to lay out all of the petals and make sure it is positioned properly (but only iron on the center patch). It should look like this sample picture. We will help our new Daisies catch up with earning their petals during each meeting this year.
Brainstorming
Everyone brought in their top three ideas of what they wanted to do at our meetings this year. It was a lot of great ideas. Our girls voted on their top three from a combined list. Here are the frontrunners:
- Ice skating (11 votes)
- Dog wash (seven votes)
- Learn about mermaids (seven votes)
- Sleepover (five votes)
- Camping (five votes)
We will revisit other ideas on the list that got a couple of votes as the year goes on. Tons of great ideas!

To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to

use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
