I would prefer it, but will not require it, that each girl participating has a Daisy smock. If you are handy with a sewing machine or even can get some blue fabric to cut a head hole and make a smock, that would be excellent. Or, they available for about $12 at the Badge and Sash at the Girl Scout Volunteer Service Center on the I-85N access road just north of N. Druid Hill Road.
A undecorated smock will be fine as it appears that the troop numbers and flag are not required. I have bought these for Chloe’s smock nonetheless. It has been pointed out that having the troop numbers on the smock is a good idea to help the girls feel even more a part a troop as a whole.
The daisy petals that the girls will earn will be provided by the troop. Please do not buy these and attach them to the unifrom. They, along with the center, must be earned.
The yellow insignia tab and Daisy pin will be awarded at the investiture to girls that are registered. To be able to register, a girl needs to be 5 years old by the first of December. We will allow younger girls to participate (those that will turn 5 in the spring) and earn petals, but they will have to wait until next year, when they will be second year Daisies, to be able to wear a Daisy pin.
The World Trefoil pin will be awarded to any registered Girl Scout that participates in the Phoenix Rising Service Unit’s Thinking Day, which will likely be on a Sunday in February.
A nice explanation of the smock and its insignia is available on the Girl Scout website.
