[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest did GS for a few years. Looking back, the activities -- for fourth graders -- were largely preschooler stuff like finger painting and making macaroni necklaces.

Meanwhile, the Boy Scout next door was learning valuable outdoor skills. She was jealous. Why don't I get to do that, too, Mom?

If you're going to lead a troop, then my advice would be to [b]aim for activities that challenge and teach the troop a valuable life skill that will serve them well. [/b]I'd rather my girl learn how to use a compass instead of sitting there using glitter glue any day of the week!

I found this on the Girl Scouts website, might give you ideas of some of the types of more practical patches they could earn in addition to their standard Daisy petals:

The Nation's Capital badge project looks cool, and could be done over the course of a year.  Maybe not for K-age Daisies but for 1st graders or Brownies even: http://www.gscnc.org/content/dam/girlscouts-gscnc/documents/Kits%20and%20Patches/nacap.pdf  (I might send this to our troop leader, in fact!)
