Hi Amber,
The Girl Scouts website had the following response in their FAQ section:
Q: What publications are available in Braille, large print, or Spanish?
A: A variety of publications are offered in these categories. For assistance or
a list, call Customer Service, Girl Scout Merchandise, at (800) 221-6707 or
(212) 869-1255.
You could give them a call to find out what is currently available as well as
what they are working on for the future... And urge them to get their newer
books into Braille ASAP!
BTW, I checked the brailleintl.org website but they only listed Boy Scout
books... ???
Good luck,
Gina O.

Hello,
I have been trying to get some girl scout material in Braille for my soon to be
10 year old daughter. I have talked with the troop leaders and they do not know
where to get this. I told them there has got to be a blind child who has been a
girlscout who is blind in the NFB. I told her I will try to find a resource to
get materials in braille for them. Can anyone help me with this? The troop
leaders have a book they teach out of. The kids really don't have a book they
look at, they listen. But there are times when there are things that can be
presented tactally and my daughter just sits there with no input.( Like
yesterday, they talked about seeds and the different stages of the seed as it is
growing and what it looks like. It would have been nice to have a tactile
graphic showing the stages of the seed as it grew.) I think they have a hard
time telling me in advance what they will be doing the next week. They thought
it would be easier to get the book brailled with tactile graphics, and use them
as needed. Any info that could be given would be greatly appreciated!
