What is a Daisy?
January 05, 2024
New Girl Scouts in kindergarten and first grade – known as Daisies – can join for free January 9-March 31, 2024! Use code 477GSWINTER2024 when you register. Get started now or read on to learn all about Daisies!
What is a Daisy?
Girl Scout Daisies are the youngest Girl Scouts, in kindergarten and first grade. They join a troop (a local group of Girl Scouts around the same age) and meet once or twice a month for fun, friendship, and new activities. Along the way, they use their passion and creativity to help others, build confidence, and make the world a better place.
What do Daisies do?
Make Friends – The first step to friendships that last forever? Feeling totally comfortable being yourself. Daisies are part of a community that celebrates them just the way they are.
Have Fun – No matter which activities Daisies choose to explore, joy and laughter are at the center of everything they do.
Try New Things – Whether they’re building a robot, planning a hike, or making up songs with their troop, Daisies put teamwork into action as they experience new adventures.
Find Community – Girl Scouts isn’t just for kids! The families in your troop will help you and your Daisy practice kindness, bravery, and generosity as they become a supportive circle of friends.
Help Others – Planting trees, collecting food donations, or making someone else smile — Daisies learn that no action is too small and you’re never too young to give back to your community.
How do we get started?
Start your own Daisy troop…
New troop leaders and their Girl Scout register for free! If you’re kind and welcoming, you already have what it takes to be a great troop leader. No Girl Scout experience is necessary — we’ll provide the training, meeting plans, and network of staff and volunteers to help you feel comfortable and confident in your role. You’ll even make some friends of your own! Learn more about becoming a troop leader.
