Seven Days of Dais-ies.

I have to say that we love our Daisy Troop. The youngest of all the Girl Scouts...and so cute!

I thought this poem was really fun to read to my daughter, who is a Daisy.

Girl Scout Week...Seven Daisies

      SUN-DAISY:
      My name is Sun-Daisy,
      And we're here to speak
      About Juliette Low
      And Girl Scout week.
      
      Just before the Civil War
      Juliette was born
      In Savannah, Georgia
      One October morn.
      
      MON-DAISY:
      Daisy was her nickname
      Throughout her living days.
      She loved games and writing
      And performing in plays.
      
      When Daisy grew up,
      She worked with Girl Guides.
      Her first troop was in Scotland
      With seven girls by her side.
      
      TUES-DAISY:
      Daisy sailed to America;
      March 12 was the day
      She started a troop
      Called Girl Scouts U.S.A.
      
      Eighteen girls met with Daisy
      Very eager to start
      To make uniforms and badges
      Each doing her part.

      WEDNES-DAISY
      Juliette spoke the Law
      For all Girl Scouts to learn
      And told of requirements
      For badges they could earn.

      The troop went on hikes
      Along nature trails
      Watching birds of all kinds
      And recording details.
      
      THURS-DAISY:
      Sports were important
      To keep the girls fit.
      Basketball was the first game
      To become a big hit.
      
      Daisy told the girls of camping
      Under stars shining bright.
      Destination-Camp Lowlands
      The first Girl Scout campsite.
    
      FRI-DAISY:
      For the rest of her life
      Daisy spread the word 'round
      To millions of girls
      In town after town.
    
      Shortly after her death
      A World Friendship fund began
      To honor this grand lady
      And her work through the land.
   
      SATUR-DAISY:
      Each year we join
      In a friendship celebration
      With Girl Scouts 'round the world
      And with great dedication.
     
      We'll remember Juliette Low
      Of whom we will speak,
      For we're proud to be Girl Scouts
      Each day of the week.
