Girl Scout Daisies
Girl Scout Daisy is the initial level of Girl Scouting. Named for Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low, GS Daisies are in kindergarten and first grade (around ages 5–7). They typically meet in groups of ten girls with two adult leaders who help the girls plan activities to introduce them to Girl Scouts. GS Daisies earn the Promise Center and Petals, which focus on the Girl Scout Law and are placed on the front of the tunic in a daisy design. They may also earn or receive patches for the back of their uniform, which consists of a light blue tunic, a blue membership disk, and the GS Daisy Pin. They may also wear their tunic with a white shirt and khaki bottoms. They use the Daisy Girl Scout Activity Book to work on activities, may camp only with a parent present, and have the option to sell Girl Scout cookies. New Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting handbooks will be introduced in Fall 2011 for all levels.

Famous quotes containing the words girl, scout and/or daisies:
“I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.
Sir Charles: Name one.
Simone Clouseau: Oh, he’s kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.
Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow,
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
