This was the first badge we worked on this year. It was a great one to start with because it helped to remind us all about the meaning of the promise and the law.

For the "On my Honor" part of this badge we had fun with The Promise and Law relay races. We also had fun making good deed catchers.

For the Careers in Girl Scouting we had a chance to interview a staff member during one of our meetings. It was interesting to learn about what made her decide to work for Girl Scouts.

Below are some of the activities we did so far that some of the girls missed. Each activity has a date that we did it on. If you missed meeting on that date and want to earn this badge then you need to make up the work and bring it back to meeting

Daisy’s Life (October 21st, 2005)

Daisy was the nickname for Juliette Low, the founder of Girl Scouts in the USA. Read the section on Juliette Low in the beginning of your handbook. And discover:

  • The type of person she was. Think of 3 words to describe her personality. What were her interests?
  • The reasons she founded GS in the US. What was she trying to do for girls of her era?
  • Her legacy. What do you do as a girl scouts today that girl scouts in Juliette Low’s time also did?

    • Careers in Girl Scouts (October 21st and October 28th 2005)

    (we did this activity in two parts. One day the girls brainstormed questions and then the next week a Staff member from Girl Scout Council was able to visit and answer many of the girl’s questions. To make up this activity the girls should write their questions out on paper and then ask them to an adult that they know who is involved in Girl Scouts)

    Girl Scout adults can participate in girl scouting as volunteers and as staff members. Find out more about a Girl Scout job (volunteer or paid) that you think you might like to do one day. Interview an adult asking:

  • What does she do?
  • What skills does she need?
  • How does the job support Girl Scouting?
  • AND at least two more questions that you think up yourself.
