Today we started the "Between Earth and Sky" journey. This is part of the "It's Your Planet--Love It!" series of journeys. The themes are to build character, confidence, and strong sense of self while developing a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
We're working on the Blue Bucket Award, which is the first part of the "Between Earth and Sky" journey. (Each journey will take us three months of the year. At the end of our journeys, we'll earn the Summit Pin Award.)
Daisies earn the Blue Bucket Award when they show that they are aware of their feelings, and the feelings of others. We practiced filling our buckets with good feelings...we had so many good feelings, that it got a little messy! That's OK!
You need a vehicle for a journey...whether it's your own feet, a car, or other form of transportation. After we read Let's Go For a Drive! by Mo Willems, we made cars from recycled materials.
The girls seemed excited to get their Daisy books. On the back, there's a meeting schedule for our year, along with some of our special activities. Try to remember to send the Daisy book on meeting dates...the pouch will be a great spot to put our badges! Welcome back to Girl Scouts, Daisies! It's going to be a great year together!
