GSEM Bronze Award Project Catalog

Daisy Day Camp

Bronze Award Team: Troop 3247

Issue: There was a lack of connection between younger and older Girl Scout troops and a lack of engagement opportunities for new troops. Root Cause: The COVID-19 pandemic made large group events and intermixes between groups difficult.

Project Details: To earn their Bronze Award, the Girl Scouts planned a Daisy Day Camp, a one-day event for two Kindergarten troops at their school to bolster their Girl Scout community and engagement opportunities. During the day camp, the Juniors led the Daisies in an opening and closing ceremony, and four Girl Scout activity related stations. These activities included learning about SWAPs, first aid, camping skills, and campfire snacks. The Daisies were also taught songs and Girl Scout traditions. After the event, the Juniors received positive feedback from the attendees, with many saying it was their first Girl Scout event outside of their troop meetings.

Target Audience: Kindergarten Daisy Girl Scouts.

Flag Stands for District 12

Issue: The district provides flags for troops to borrow, but there are no flag stands available for them to use. Root Cause: No one had previously donated flag stands to be used. Target Audience: District 12 troops who need flags for bridging and other ceremonies.

Bronze Award Team: Jennifer N. of Troop 1299

Project Details: There are many ceremonies that help Girl Scouts celebrate special moments and accomplishments, and they often begin with a flag ceremony. After recognizing the lack of flag stands in her district, Jennifer decided to construct the stands to earn the Girl Scout Bronze Award. Jennifer worked with her District Equipment Manager to receive approval and measurements needed to create the stands. Jennifer learned how to use new tools, including a saw, sander, and drill, to build sturdy flag stands. The flag stands are now part of the district’s equipment inventory for troops to use for ceremonies.
