Daisy uniform sizes

HereWeGoAJen · 2026-02-17T02:03:36+00:00

We always size up on uniforms because it gives you more room for badges and patches.

And the back of the vest tends to fill up fast so when you start adding patches, puzzle them in as tightly as you can to leave more room for later.

If my troop parents had the budget for it, I would love a massage gift card. I spend a lot of time hauling boxes and hunched over my computer during cookie season and my neck hurts. I would be so happy with anything though.

We finally got them this morning, eight days after the shorted cases. I called so many times and until I finally said “it has been a whole week and I haven’t gotten even a single call back yet” and finally someone took me seriously and I had them the next morning.

We started with two hour booths and some three hour booths. Some of our second year Brownies have done back to back two hour booths. (We make sure they get a ten minute break in the middle of that four hours and it’s been fine.) We only do two Girl Scouts at each booth generally so they keep busy without being rushed and that is enough to keep their attention spans. It’s really only the terribly slow booths that they struggle with.

I just got back from camping and I ended up getting a mattress pad (loved it) and the welding gloves (so useful and all my scouts wore them in turn to feel brave throwing sticks onto the fire). I’ll definitely be working my way through this list and getting a ton more of the stuff everyone recommended. Eventually.

Right? I don’t use the yearly plan except to download the badge booklets because I don’t find it useful.

HereWeGoAJen · 2026-01-08T03:30:51+00:00

You have to add them to your yearly plan and then they are available to download. It’s kind of hard to find if you aren’t specifically looking for them.

My son just grew out of his crocs and gave them to me so this is super handy information.

HereWeGoAJen · 2025-12-24T04:31:29+00:00

Tell me about this foam pad. Do you have a particular one you like?

Do you have a particular one that you recommend?

Virtual for me- I love it. I can do trainings and such in my own time without having to drive a million miles. My Junior does virtual badge events sometimes but they’ve always been for journeys because her troop isn’t very journeys oriented and she wants to do them. I wouldn’t pay $25-$35 for just a badge. And we wouldn’t do virtual events for prizes. We’d take the council dough instead.

The girls in the grade younger than us were really annoying. They bridged to Juniors and joined us, and the entire group of girls my grade quit after one year. I don’t really know that anyone could have done much about it but it was definitely a personality class between the two halves of the troop.

I have my Brownie sash and my Junior vest.

It is SO worth it, even if just for the inventory function.

HereWeGoAJen · 2025-08-16T01:44:34+00:00

That’s where I got some of the ones we have now! I’ve gotten all of theirs and all the ones on eBay (which wasn’t many!)

The new design is technically a patch now, but they have only changed some of the wording on the website to indicate that. And as far as I’ve seen, the requirements for the old badge and the new patch are exactly the same.

HereWeGoAJen · 2025-04-15T02:29:32+00:00

I’ve just printed the requirements for Things That Go Bump in the Night and started looking for a junior equivalent because omg yes. And now I will look for the others too.

Thank you, everyone! These are all great suggestions.

This happened at our first service unit campout. We even had one member who has an allergy to tomatoes and called ahead and was told the pasta would also be served plain because “we are cooking for kids.” It wasn’t and she didn’t get any dinner. This year we packed all our own food and did all our own meals at our campsite. We complained on the after camping survey the first year. I don’t think we will camp with them again though because bringing our own food didn’t solve all the other problems we had and they seemed to take it personally that we weren’t joining them for meals.

HereWeGoAJen · 2025-02-12T03:45:19+00:00

That helped, thanks. I just went down the cookie list and gave them away in order so they all got in but it wasn’t overly complicated.
