Earning Petals on the Go

Few Daisy troops start out with a lot of money to spare, so short field trips make excellent meeting ideas.  Most of the trips listed here are intended to fill one regular meeting session, but depending on how far your troop has to travel, you may need to schedule in an extra allotment of time.  Don't forget to make sure you have enough adults for your outing as well, the numbers come close to doubling compared to a regular meeting (you can find the exact numbers in Safetywise).
