Fun Ways Your Scouts Can Earn Their Be A Sister To Every Girl Petal

I know as a Daisy Leader we are always trying to come up with new and exciting ways to earn the Daisy Petals. Over the last 10 years, I have had multiple Daisy groups; this week I want to share what I have done with my girls to earn the violet petal: “Be a Sister to Every Girl“.

When the girls arrive to meeting have copies of the Be a Sister To Every Girl Daisy Petal Coloring page for a complete collection of all the GS Laws Click here

At the beginning of the meeting, ask your girls what they think being a sister to every Girl means? Have girls give examples of times when they were a sister to someone.

If you purchase through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Games and Activities

We’ve included some patch suggestions to give to participants. See all our fun patches.

We talked to the girls about SWAPs and how it was a Girl Scout tradition, especially about Swap Etiquette and to never refuse a trade. If this is your first time SWAPping take a look at this Girl Scout page.

Keeping it Budget-Friendly

Swaps can be very cheap but you want to make sure it’s age-appropriate so the girls can make a neatly done craft to trade.

One of my favorite Girl Scout Hacks

Oriental Trading has plenty of craft kits but I never really used them as intended. Instead I would buy kits based on their components. This kit is under $20 and you literally get 100s of foam flowers, plus string and plastic beads. The smile face stickers shown above were less than $5 for 800 stickers.

We had enough flowers to decorate many of our projects throughout the year, including sit-upons, Mother’s Day cards and bridging centerpieces.

Add Another Activity

I like the girls to get a chance to move around. Here are a couple of the girls favorite games that work well with the Be a Sister petal.

Mingle Game

Tell the girls to stand near each other in the center of the room. Tell the girls that once you yell, “MINGLE!” to place their palms together in front of their chest and “snake” through the group while chanting, “mingle-mingle-mingle…” continuously as they weave through each other. Allow the girls to mix and mingle for 5-10 seconds. Yell, “STOP!” and tell the girls to find and link arms with girls who have things in common with them by calling one of the categories below, or others you choose.

Same hair color
Same age
Go to the same school
Have the same favorite sport
Have the same number of brothers and sisters
Have the same birthday month
Once girls have found their partner or group (some may be individuals), have each girl or group announce to the larger group what their answer was. After each group has answered, start the game again by yelling “Mingle!” and start over with a new category. If they love it get the girls involved, ask them to think of new categories.

Get to Know Another Girl

Put all girls names in a hat. Each Daisy drew the name of another troop member out of a hat. They put that girl’s name at the top of the page, and then colored a picture of that girl. Let girls take a few minutes talking to one another to determine things that are alike and different. We let the girls stand up and tell about what they found out about their sister scout. Then they gave the picture to their sister Daisy to take home.
