It was a busy Daisy Scout weekend. Today was Laura’s regular meeting and the two-hour meeting flew by. After the opening ceremony, the Daisy Troop went to their room to listen and talk about the story that goes along with earning the Purple Petal for “Respecting Myself and Others.” Then, in honor of Veteran’s Day, the girls made cards for patients at the local Veteran’s Hospital. Each girl made five cards and took their task very seriously. It was surprisingly quiet in a room filled with eight First Graders. The girls all worked very hard and I know the cards will brighten the days of our hospitalized Veterans.
Next weekend is the Holiday Parade and the Girl Scouts will be the Grand Marshals! The Daisy Scouts will be dressed in their uniforms and also wear Angel Wings and Halos. Of course, they have to wear decorated Angel wings, so the girls did that during the second hour of their meeting. Laura made sure to add lots of feathers and she worked so hard. Andy will cut out the wings tomorrow after the lettering dries and we’ll poke holes in the middle so that we can attach them with string.
It was a great meeting and Laura said that she is very much loving being a Daisy Scout. She’s so proud of everything that they do and, as a parent, I have to say that it is just amazing to see her this way!
