Daisy Information
Daisy Details
During the course of the year, we will be involved in activities with
emphasis on the Girl Scout program goals which will enable each child to:
-
Develop to their full potential.
-
Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect.
-
Develop a meaningful set of values to guide their actions and to provide for
sound decision-making.
-
Contribute to the improvement of society.

Promise Center and Learning Petals
As part of the Daisy program, the girls will earn the Promise Circle
and Learning Petals. Each petal represents a part of the Girl Scout
Law, and the center of the Daisy represents the Girl Scout Promise.
Each Daisy plays an important part in the decisions that are made that
effect how the troop operates. We will share ideas, listen to others,
and decide what to do as a group.
Troop Details
Meetings
Our regular troop meetings will be twice per month, on the 1st and 3rd
Tuesdays, from 2 PM - 3 PM. We will meet at Sylvia's house, and we will provide a
snack and drink for the girls. Please let us know if there are any
allergies that we need to be aware of. There will not be any meetings
on days when school in closed. Check our
calendar for a list of our meeting dates.
Uniform
We recommend that each girl have a blue Daisy Girl Scout Tunic,
and wear it to each troop meeting and special event. Other Daisy
clothing items may be worn but are not required for our troop.
The Tunic is available for purchase locally at the Leesburg Hobbies &
Collectibles shop at 9 West Market Street (next to Tally Ho Theatre).
It is also available from the Girl Scout Catalog and online at
the Girl Scout shop. The cost is $11.50 for size S/M (6-7), and $12
for size L/XL (8-10). You can save 6% on the cost at the Hobby shop in
Leesburg by adding your name to their database.
Dues
We have established dues of $40 for each Daisy to support the troop this
year. This will cover the costs of the Girl Scout petals, patches,
tab, pins, special events, supplies and snacks for the year. A budget
break-down is provided at the Parents Meeting. Please make checks payable
to "Troop 4738".
Folders
Please check the accordion file for your daughter's name at the end of each
meeting. We will place any new information for the troop and details
for upcoming events in these folders.
Troop List
For privacy purposes, we will not post the troop contact list on this site.
If you need a copy of the troop list, contact us
and we'll email it to you.
Fund Raising
Daisy Girls Scouts are not allowed to participate in fund-raising
activities, so we will not be involved in Girl Scout cookie, calendar, or
magazine sales. All funds needed for our regular activities are to be covered
by our dues.
