The Daisy Journey, Between Earth and Sky

Designed to help girls in Kindergarten through First grade develop a lasting love and respect for the natural world. This journey tells the story of three flower friends on a road trip through the world’s greatest landscapes. It introduces girls to many wonders of nature such as oceans, lakes, beaches, mountain, and rolling plains. By the end of the journey Daisies will see that travel is far more than just getting from one place to the other. It’s an adventure that opens their eyes to new experiences and wonders of the world.

There are 10 great sessions designed to develop the girl’s love for the natural world. They will start with Getting Ready for the Road, then off to Living the Law, In the Land of Milk and Cheese and ending with On the Road to New Adventures. Through out the sessions girls will complete activities that allow them to earn three leadership awards.

The Blue Bucket Award encourages girls to develop good relationship skills by learning to express their feeling, negotiating and compromising to resolve conflicts and for being considerate and caring to others.

The Firefly had a unique ability to give light that add glitter to summer nights. Girls are asked to recognize and develop their own unique skill and teach others in order to earn the Firefly Award.

The last award is named for the flower friend Clover, who helps preserve the natural habitat of Alaska. To earn this award girls will team up to protect a local natural treasure through caring and sharing. Project suggestions include a Minding your Weed and Seed Campaign with the local library.

This journey is filled with fun and friendship and is designed to develop the skills and values young girls need to become leaders. The activities are designed to enable Daisies to strive toward achieving 13 of the 15 national outcomes of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

As on any journey, Daisies can venture off the main route to see in real life all that is Between Earth and Sky! They can plan a day trip to their local park or Memphis Zoo. The Natchez Trace Parkway also has programs available. Planning your own road trip to participate in a council wide event such as Daisy Daze or plan a mom and me weekend at one of our resident camps is also a great way to enhance this journey. Experiencing nature first hand gives the Daisies opportunities to deepen their love and respect for Everything between Earth and Sky.
