Daisy Safety Award

Earning the Daisy Safety Award has been a long time coming. It was one of the first things we bought at the Girl Scout Shop thinking it would be a fast-and-easy award to earn. Tessa completed step three back in October during Fire Prevention Week. We had planned to finish it up early December when our troop was set to visit the local police station and fire house, but that trip was canceled due to inclement weather. When it was time for Tessa to earn her Gerri petal (Respect Authority), I finally committed time to get the rest of it done. For whatever reason, Tessa really enjoyed earning this award. I think the knowledge empowered her...made her feel a little bit grown up.

I laid out what we did a little differently than usual. The resources listed below are the ones we used to fulfill the requirements of the Daisy Safety Award. These requirements may also be found on page 21 of The Daisy Girl's Guide to Girl Scouting.

Daisy Safety Award

 Learn how to stay safe on your Daisy adventures! When you do, you'll earn this important award. Do these three steps to earn the award:

1. Understand what to do if you get lost. Know your phone number, address, and who it's safe to ask for help (police officer, teacher, person in charge).

Tessa used the "My Phone Number" worksheet from education.com to help her learn my cell phone number in case she ever gets lost. She also practiced dialing it on a toy phone.

2. Find out what you should do if you or a friend is choking.

3. Learn how to do "Stop, Drop, and Roll" if your clothing catches on fire.

Tessa learned to "Stop, Drop, and Roll" during Fire Prevention Week back in October. She showed me again today that she remembered how to do it. She also sorted cards from the "Know When to Stop, Drop, and Roll" lesson above to display that she knows exactly when she should Stop, Drop, and Roll.

    When I did this award with my little daisy group, I brought in an old cell phone that no longer had service. The girls loved using it to practice calling their home phone number, to practice dialing 911 and reporting an emergency. (They had to state their name, address, and what was wrong with the person.) The play cell phone was a huge hit.
