Candy and Nut Sales



A “Friends and Family Program,” the Candy, Nut and Magazine Program offer flexibility for both new and returning troops as both a way for parents and leaders to coach their girls on the 5 Skills and a way to earn funds for the first part of the year. Girls will be taking orders for a variety of chocolates, nuts and candy, including gift tins and exclusive boxed items, in September and October. These items will be available for delivery in mid-November. At the same time, subscriptions (new or renewal) can be placed as well.

Daisy Petals and Leaves


Girl Scout Law and Daisy Petals


Between Earth and Sky-our Daisy Journey

Hello! Welcome to our Fort Leavenwoth Daisy Journey! This year we will work on Between Earth and Sky. Please get your Daisy the journey book. Each book has pages that we will work on to earn this wonderful patch.
 
Between Earth and Sky
  • Girl Scout Daisies join their flower friends for a cross-country road trip in their special flower-powered car!
  • As they travel the country living the values of the Girl Scout Law, the flowers explore the natural world around them, learning what's local and why that's important.
  • Along the way, the flower friends (and the girls!) sample the sights, and the wisdom of women working to protect Planet Earth.
  • Daisies earn their Blue Bucket, Firefly, and Clover (uses resources wisely!) awards as they experience what's great about their own region and learn to use their own special skills to help people and Planet Earth.
