Flag Ceremonies are an important part of Girl Scouting. Not only does it teach the girls respect and honor but it is a great form of patriotism.
Girls from Senior Troop 11096 attended a Daisy Troop meeting to teach the girls of 1956 how to hold their own Flag Ceremony and the importance of each part of it. The younger girls were taught how to perform an official ceremony and while doing this, the Daisy Girl Scouts were able to earn their Blue Bucket Award.
The high school girls handed out three flowers to each kindergartner and asked them to write down their feelings on each petal. After they were done, they girls all glued the flower together to create a Daisy Flower Garden.
To complete the evening, the younger girls performed four skits that showed different ways to handle certain scenarios such as arguing over which color crayon to use or which game to play. They all learned the true meaning of the word compromise.
Now that the Daisy Girl Scouts have practiced their own Flag Ceremony, they will start to use them regularly at their troop meetings and events.
