You know what it's like. You've suddenly been made the Daisy leader when you thought you were just volunteering to help at the meetings. What do you mean you have to collect paperwork, dues and plan meetings??? Isn't there a den mother to do that? Oops, that's Boy Scouts! Well, we do it a little differently at Girl Scouts but don't despair! There are lots and lots of resources out there, both free (blogs like these) and at your local Girl Scout Service Center or Daisy Knapsack. In fact, if you live in a good Council area, you don't have to plan a single meetings -- you can plan your meetings around all the great events that Council organizes. But then again, that would mean you'd need to do Troop Trip forms (hmmmm).
So reality has set in, you've reserved meeting location and times with the school office and now you are scrambling to organize the first meeting! Well, here is Girl Scout Maniac to help you through it all - and don't worry - your first year of meetings will be crazy and unorganized, no matter how much you plan. We are talking about 5 year olds, remember??!!!
So here is a sample meeting plan for your first year of Daisies.
