Daisy Petal Awards

These activities were assembled by Palo Alto volunteers and are retained here for historical reference. Unfortunately, because GSUSA and our GSNORCAL Council have now transitioned to the Journeys program materials, we are no longer able to provide any assistance in obtaining the badges/patches/insignia girls could earn in conjunction with them.

Daisys can earn patches for their tunic called Petals. There are many ways you can help your girls learn about the 10 Girl Scout Laws.

  • One way is to read a book that demonstrates the meaning of that law and them talk about it afterwards. To help with this Jessica Rothberg has created a list of children's picture books listed under the Girl Scout Law to which the book applies.
