22 Activities for Daisies to Earn the Light Blue Petal: Honest & Fair
Earning the Honest and Fair petal (the light blue one!) is a foundational step in a Daisy Girl Scout’s journey, teaching them the importance of integrity and the “Golden Rule.” Whether they are learning to tell the truth even when it’s tough or discovering how to share resources so everyone feels included, these activities help girls understand that being a good sister to every Girl Scout starts with being a person others can trust. By combining active play with thoughtful discussion, you can turn these abstract concepts into tangible life skills that will stay with them long after they’ve sewn the petal to their tunic.
