According to the Girl Scout "Journey Assets" booklet for Daisy adult leaders, these young learners follow an activity book of life lessons centered around the earth and its processes. A gardening focus in the 44-page book has Daisies envisioning and interacting with plants and animals in their natural habitats. Starting a real garden with your Daisy, complete with flowers, herbs and vegetables, will be a time-consuming but meaningful complement to the activity book. Secretly planting daisies there will be an added gift when blossoming time comes.
In addition to the "Daisy Activity Book" and "Flower Garden Handbook"--which guide new Daisies through their two years before advancement to Brownie--a variety of books will be good supplements to a Daisy's guided learning. The Girl Scouts offers books for Daisies like "5 Flowers, 4 Stories, 3 Cheers for Animals!" and "Between Earth and Sky," also available in Spanish. Also, an illustrated gardening guidebook would be just as cherished.
Insignias, vests, tunics, patches and membership pins are common initial investments for the parents of new Daisies, and various badges and patches are awarded upon completion of different activities. Steer clear of giving Daisies these types of gifts, since they may already have them or won't be able to wear them yet. Other accessories for their uniforms, however--such as a "Save the Planet - Girl Scouts" pin, a Girl Scouts ribbon headband or striped toe socks--would make an appreciated addition to their uniforms.
The Girl Scouts organization has produced a handful of jewelry items geared exclusively to Daisies. The Daisy Flower Power necklace, for $12 as of March 2011, is a 16-inch silver chain with a pendant says "Flower Power," from which hang three different symbols decorative symbols. The signature, multicolor Daisy petal logo is available in earrings for $7. And a plastic keepsake bracelet, also $7, is decorated with the Daisy and Bee characters from much of the learning-level literature.
