Crafts for the Be a Sister to Every Girl Scout Petal 

Earn your Vi petals with these fun crafts:

• Little Critter Bookmarks – Trading things with other troops is so much fun for the Girl Scouts with these Daisy Vi Petal ideas. Their faces light up when they see what the other group has sent them – and they have the same amount of fun and excitement, crafting something for them in return. This tutorial shows you how to make cute critter bookmarks with foam pieces. And in the pro-column, it's a craft that can be down with very little mess being made.
• Juliette's Pearls SWAP 
• Beaded Troop Number SWAP – Just like the critter bookmarks, the Beaded Troop Number SWAP is so much fun. They're quick to make out of numbered beads. It would be a lot of fun to swap them with troops from different parts of the state (country?) – and then you can add them to a map, giving your troop a visual component that shows that they have Girl Scout Sisters both near and far. Swapping beads is another super fun Daisy Vi petal idea.
