Please Don't Eat the Girl Scout Daisy!
Welcome to the page devoted to the darling Girl Scout Daisy* and her uniform.
Officially launched in the fall of 1984, the Girl Scout Daisy program was the result of years of study and beta programs for girls as young as 5 years old.
Could girls benefit from the Girl Scout program targeted to their age level?
Of course they could!
Originally, the program was just for 5 year olds, or in Kindergarten.
Later it was expanded to 6 year olds, to help girls stay together.
* The official name was changed from Daisy Girl Scout to Girl Scout Daisy in 2008.
Curious about the title of this page?
It's my homage to one of my favorite movies;
the 1960 Doris Day, David Niven
movie
"Please Don't Eat the Daisies"
which was based on a book by Jean Kerr and later turned into a tv show of the same name.
There aren't any Girl Scouts in the movie.
This page is just a brief overview of the Daisy uniform and it's evolution. It does not cover all the items that may have been official, such as; leggings, tights, socks, etc.
The Daisy program was rather spartan in the beginning; the tunic, pin and disc, a leaders' guide, Beginning and Ending Certificates and a tote was about all the that was offered.

New design in the Daisy membership pin and the bridging patch is introduced.

1999 has been remembered as the Oopsie-Daisy year for Daisy Girl Scout uniforms.
