GirlSports Basics for Daisies & Brownies


Purpose: To prepare girls with the basic skills necessary to gain self-confidence and maximize entry-level success in many sports. Through a variety of organized activities, girls will be encouraged to participate in sports and to incorporate health and fitness activities into their lives.

Requirements: There is no minimum requirement, but troops should try a variety of the activities focusing on fair play, cooperation and skill progression.


The GirlSports Basics project consists of a series of activity cards for the following basic movements: underhand and overhand throwing, catching, kicking, striking with a paddle, batting, volleying, dribbling and passing, as well as locomotor and agility skills. Each set of activity cards provides a progression in skill from the simple to the more complex, as well as practice activities. Each series is designed to help young girls learn and apply these skills in a game situation, with a minimal amount of "know-how" by the instructor.

In addition to the activity cards, there is a guide for leaders, a poster, and two participatory patches (one for Daisies and one for Brownies). Both the activity guide and the equipment are available through the council.

Check with the Council's shop, Patches Plus, for availability of patches.
